The Creighton Academy

Summary:

The Creighton Academy is an elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 334 students in grades PK-8. As part of the Creighton Elementary District, which is ranked 476 out of 540 districts in the state, the school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Creighton Academy stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.53%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 48.64% to 85.77% Hispanic. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1011 and 1187 out of 1245 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the Creighton Academy has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 3.9%, which is higher than the nearby schools. The school also serves a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

These insights suggest that the Creighton Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low academic performance, high dropout rates, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students indicate that it may need additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Larry C Kennedy School, Excelencia School, and Gateway School, the Creighton Academy consistently underperforms, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school are not shared by all schools in the area.

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.
