Sahuarita Digital Pathways Academy

Summary:

Sahuarita Digital Pathways Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Sahuarita, Arizona, with a student population of 121 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Sahuarita Unified District, which is ranked 194 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sahuarita Digital Pathways Academy stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher Hispanic student enrollment (54.55%) compared to the state average. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 75.9% in 2021-2022 is lower than the state average, though higher than some nearby alternative schools like Sunnyside Online Success Academy (31.7%). Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 12.7% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools.

Academically, Sahuarita Digital Pathways Academy's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to the state and district averages. While it outperforms the state in some grade levels and subjects, it underperforms in others, particularly in mathematics. Interestingly, the school's spending per student ($4,994 in 2021-2022) is lower than the state average and most of the nearby schools, which may contribute to its relatively lower performance on some metrics. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.1 in 2022-2023 is lower than the state average and most of the nearby schools, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention to students.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
