Summary:
Compass High School Inc. is a public charter high school system located in Tucson, Arizona, serving students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Compass High School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Arizona high schools and underperforming academically compared to state averages.
The school's diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and African American students, raises concerns about equity and whether the school is providing equal educational opportunities for all. Compass High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics, is significantly below the state average, with only 16%, 19%, and 17% of students meeting proficiency standards, respectively. Additionally, the school has a concerning 30.2% four-year graduation rate and a high 31.5% dropout rate, both of which are significantly worse than the state averages.
While the school's spending per student of $10,946 is slightly higher than the state average, the data suggests that this investment is not translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's declining performance over the past three years, from a ranking of 358 out of 464 schools in 2021-2022 to 295 out of 469 schools in the most recent year, indicates that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education and may require significant interventions and support to improve student success.
