The key challenges facing ThrivePoint High School at Surprise include low academic performance, declining graduation rates, high dropout rates, and underperforming student subgroups. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from a low of 8.7% to a high of 37.5%, which is significantly lower than the state and nearby Dysart Unified District and Paragon Management Inc. district averages.
