Accelerated Learning Center

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Accelerated Learning Center is a public charter high school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 153 students. The school is part of the Accelerated Learning Center Inc. district, which is ranked 356 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Accelerated Learning Center faces significant challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 18% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40%. In Mathematics, only 15% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 32%. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 93.5% in 2018-2019 to 62.3% in 2022-2023, which is significantly lower than the nearby Chaparral High School (95.7%) and Horizon High School (94.2%).

Further analysis reveals that Accelerated Learning Center's student population is predominantly White, which is not reflective of the racial diversity in the surrounding area. This raises questions about the school's ability to address the needs of a diverse student body and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. The school's spending per student ($7,349 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the nearby high-performing schools, such as Great Hearts Academies - North Phoenix Prep ($9,492 in 2018-2019) and BASIS Phoenix ($8,066 in 2021-2022), which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance.
