Summary:
The Mexicayotl Academy Inc. district in Arizona operates two elementary schools: Mexicayotl Charter School and Mexicayotl Academy. While both schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, Mexicayotl Charter School stands out as the high-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Arizona elementary schools and outperforming state and district averages in various subject areas.
Mexicayotl Charter School has been a top-performing school, with a current ranking of 190 out of 1,245 schools in the state. In contrast, Mexicayotl Academy has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking of 1,021 out of 1,226 schools. This performance gap is reflected in the schools' test scores, with Mexicayotl Charter School outperforming the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels.
The funding discrepancy between the two schools is also noteworthy, with Mexicayotl Academy spending significantly more per student ($17,850) compared to Mexicayotl Charter School ($14,147). This raises questions about the allocation of resources and the potential impact on student outcomes. Additionally, while Mexicayotl Charter School has a 100% Hispanic student population, Mexicayotl Academy has a more diverse student body, with representation from multiple ethnic groups.
