Valor Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Valor Preparatory Academy is a public charter high school in Goodyear, Arizona, serving grades 6-12 with a diverse student population. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Science proficiency, with 67% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 40%, and 35% proficient or better in Science compared to the state average of 22%. Valor Preparatory Academy has been ranked among the top 100 high schools in Arizona for the past two school years, ranking 72nd out of 464 schools in 2021-2022 and 92nd out of 469 schools in 2022-2023.

However, the school's performance in Mathematics is more mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others below. Additionally, Valor Preparatory Academy has experienced a higher dropout rate compared to the nearby schools, with a 6.7% dropout rate in 2021-2022. The school's diverse student population, with 36% White, 10.86% African American, 45.71% Hispanic, 1.14% Asian, 1.71% Native American, and 4.57% two or more races, stands out compared to the nearby traditional public high schools, such as Agua Fria High School and West Point High School.

While Valor Preparatory Academy outperforms the nearby traditional public high schools, its performance lags behind that of the nearby high-performing charter school, Great Hearts Academies - Trivium Prep, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state. As a public charter school, Valor Preparatory Academy offers a virtual learning model, which may appeal to families seeking a flexible educational option, and the school's performance on standardized tests suggests that the virtual model is effective in delivering academic outcomes, at least for certain student groups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
