Summary:

Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Kaizen Education Foundation district in Phoenix, Arizona. With a total enrollment of 191 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to other Arizona high schools, ranking in the bottom quartile for the past three years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School struggles significantly, with proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics well below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate is only 18.1%, and its dropout rate is an alarming 24.0%, more than double the state average. These challenges are compounded by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 70.68% of the population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's per-student spending of $11,498 is slightly above the state average, the data suggests that the Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School district has not been able to translate this investment into improved academic outcomes or student success. Addressing the school's persistent underperformance and high dropout rate will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to support the needs of its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
