Summary:
The Educational Options Foundation district in Arizona operates two high schools: EdOptions High School Learning Center and EdOptions Preparatory Academy. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have relatively low statewide rankings, with EdOptions High School Learning Center ranking between 247-380 out of 271-469 Arizona high schools and EdOptions Preparatory Academy ranking between 367-421 out of 464-509 Arizona high schools in recent years.
The two schools have consistent graduation and dropout rates, with both reporting a 78.4% four-year graduation rate and a 5.2% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. However, their academic performance is a concern, as their 11th-grade proficiency rates in core subjects like AzSCI/Science, AASA/English Language Arts, and AASA/Mathematics are significantly lower than the state average, ranging from 10-15% compared to the state average of 19-40%.
The spending per student also varies greatly between the two schools, with EdOptions High School Learning Center spending $1,291 per student and EdOptions Preparatory Academy spending $22,990 per student in the 2021-2022 school year. This significant difference in funding may contribute to the disparities in academic performance, but further investigation is needed to understand the reasons behind this discrepancy and how it impacts the educational outcomes for students in the Educational Options Foundation district.
