Summary:
The Young Scholars Academy, the sole school in the Young Scholars Academy Charter School Corp. district in Arizona, is an elementary school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 410 students.
The school stands out for its strong academic performance, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics consistently higher than the state averages, particularly in the upper grades. For instance, in 2024-2025, 72% of 7th graders and 74% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 42% and 40% respectively. In Math, 65% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40%. The school's statewide ranking among Arizona elementary schools has fluctuated over the past few years, but it has consistently been in the top third of schools, ranking as high as 285 out of 912 in 2023-2024.
While the school's performance is impressive, the data set is missing some key information, such as the school's free/reduced lunch rate and student-teacher ratio, which makes it difficult to fully assess the school's characteristics in comparison to other schools or state averages. Additionally, the school's 5.2% dropout rate in 2023-2024 is worth noting, as it is higher than one might expect for an elementary school, and could be an area for further investigation.
