Summary:
The data set provided focuses on a single high school, Imagine Prep Coolidge, which is part of the Imagine Prep Coolidge Inc. district in Coolidge, Arizona. This public charter school serves grades 6-12 and has a total enrollment of 526 students.
Imagine Prep Coolidge has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (56.27%) and significant representation from Native American (16.35%), White (14.64%), and African American (6.46%) students. However, the school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments falling well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, only 6% of 11th graders scored proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 32%.
The school's struggles are further reflected in its declining statewide ranking, dropping from 388 out of 509 high schools in 2020-2021 to 309 out of 469 high schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (72.81%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Despite these challenges, the school has not shown significant improvement over the past three years, maintaining a low 1 or 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
