AmeriSchools Academy - Camelback

Public, Charter, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

AmeriSchools Academy - Camelback is a public charter school in Phoenix, Arizona that serves 104 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American.

While the school has maintained an impressive 0% dropout rate for the past four years, its academic performance lags behind state and district averages. Test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the benchmarks, and the school serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's racial diversity is notable, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Westland School and Sonoran Science Academy - Phoenix.

Despite the academic challenges, AmeriSchools Academy - Camelback has seen an increase in its per-student spending, reaching $12,201 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the spending at some of the surrounding schools in the Cholla Academy and Daisy Education Corporation dba Sonoran Science Ac districts. The school's commitment to maintaining a low dropout rate is a notable achievement, and further investigation into the factors contributing to the academic underperformance and the unique needs of the economically disadvantaged student population could help the school address these challenges and improve outcomes for its diverse learners.
