Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy of Arizona is a public charter elementary school serving 432 students in grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona. Based on the data provided, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 1174 out of 1245 schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 9% of 3rd graders and 5% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41% and 45% respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, with only 2% of 8th graders proficient or better in 2022-2023 compared to the state average of 27%. Additionally, Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy of Arizona has had high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 5.2% to 24.8%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Roosevelt Elementary District, while also low-performing, generally outperform Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy of Arizona on academic measures. Furthermore, the school's per-student spending of $9,135 in the 2019-2020 school year is lower than the nearby schools in the Roosevelt Elementary District, which range from $11,702 to $20,408 per student. These factors suggest that the challenges faced by Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy of Arizona may be more severe than those of its neighbors, and that the school may need to implement significant changes to its educational model and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
