Nosotros Academy

Public, Charter, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

Nosotros Academy is an alternative public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 305 students in grades K-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, with 89.84% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year. Compared to nearby schools, Nosotros Academy has faced significant challenges, including lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower student performance on standardized tests.

Nosotros Academy's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated widely, ranging from a low of 26.1% in 2018-2019 to a high of 65.7% in 2021-2022, which is notably lower than the 94.4% four-year graduation rate at Presidio School. The school's dropout rates have also been consistently higher, ranging from 11.1% to 19.3% over the past few years, compared to 0.0% at Academy of Math and Science and Presidio School. Additionally, Nosotros Academy's student performance on standardized tests, such as AzSCI/Science and AASA/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is consistently lower than the state and district averages.

Nosotros Academy also stands out for its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 92.79% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the 59.68% rate at Presidio School. The school has also seen a steady decline in the percentage of White students, from 10.09% in 2020-2021 to 6.23% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of Hispanic students has increased from 84.65% to 89.84% during the same period. These demographic shifts, combined with the school's financial and academic challenges, suggest that Nosotros Academy may face unique obstacles in supporting its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
