Mountain Rose Academy

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Mountain Rose Academy is a public charter high school located in Tucson, Arizona, serving around 190 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Pima County JTED district, which is ranked 441 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, Mountain Rose Academy has struggled significantly in key areas. The school's 4-year graduation rate is only 39%, well below the state average of around 80%, and its dropout rate has reached as high as 27.7%, more than double the state average. Academically, the school's performance is also concerning, with only 13% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40% statewide, and just 4% proficient in math, compared to 32% across Arizona. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona high schools for White, Female, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Comparing Mountain Rose Academy to nearby high schools, such as Mountain View High School and Sentinel Peak High School, highlights the stark differences in academic performance and outcomes. These neighboring schools, while not top-performing, still significantly outpace Mountain Rose Academy in key metrics like graduation rates and test scores. The data suggests that Mountain Rose Academy faces significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and personal success, and the school may need to re-evaluate its educational approach and resource allocation to better serve its community.
