Peoria Flex Academy

Summary:

Peoria Flex Academy is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in Peoria, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 92 students. However, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools over the past 10 years and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.

Peoria Flex Academy's academic performance is particularly concerning, with extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, ranging from just 7-9% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, compared to state averages of 40%, 32%, and 22% respectively. The school also struggles across various student subgroups, ranking particularly low for White, Hispanic, and low-income students. While the school performs relatively better for special education students, its 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 64.6% and 84.1% over the past 5 years, significantly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 5.8% to 13.8%, much higher than the state.

Interestingly, Peoria Flex Academy's performance lags significantly behind other high schools in the Peoria Unified School District, such as Centennial High School, Ironwood High School, and Peoria High School, which have higher academic rankings, better test scores, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates. Additionally, the nearby Peoria Accelerated High School, a charter school, also struggles academically, suggesting that the challenges faced by Peoria Flex Academy may be indicative of broader educational challenges 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.
