Tapbi

Summary:

Tapbi is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in the Tempe Union High School District, with a diverse student population of 199 students.

Despite its virtual format, Tapbi faces significant challenges, including a very low 4-year graduation rate of only 3.8%, much lower than the nearby Marcos De Niza High School (79.4%) and Tempe Preparatory Academy (89.7%). Tapbi's academic performance, as measured by state assessment tests, is also significantly below the district and state averages, with only 40% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 29% proficient in math.

The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of its African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, Tapbi has experienced significant fluctuations in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, which may be hindering its ability to provide a stable and high-quality educational experience. While Tapbi's virtual format could potentially offer unique advantages, addressing its current challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's resources, strategies, and equity-focused support for all 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.

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.
