The school may benefit from collaborating with or learning from the practices of the higher-performing charter schools in the area to address these areas for improvement.

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.

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

My daughter's mother enrolled my daughter in HAAS 4 years ago and I have watched her performance steadily decline over the years. When she left AZ she tested into the gifted program but at HAAS there is very little disciplined guidance as the school believes in allowing the students to be self-guided in a project-based curriculum. As a result, my daughter has been allowed to roll over incomplete assignments to the next school year, yet her report cards indicate she is a stellar student while also indicating incomplete subject areas in every area my daughter has no interest in learning. Fridays at HAAS are optional days, so she often opts to stay home rather than go to school. I am concerned that she is ill prepared to for the rigors of college courses. Sadly, prior to entering HAAS I was confident that she would not only be competitive for any university she chose to apply to, but would be able to compete for scholarships. HAAS has effectively transformed an academically gifted student into an average performer in academics and she has no interest in participating in anything she is not immediately good at....and this attitude is actually encouraged by the teachers and staff.

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.
