Summary:

South Valley Academy Inc. is a public charter school district in Arizona that operates a single middle school, South Valley Prep and Arts School, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 228 students.

South Valley Prep and Arts School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona middle schools, with a ranking of 451 out of 552 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a ranking of 746 out of 854 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science are significantly below the state averages, with ELA proficiency ranging from 22% to 29% in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 41% to 42%, and an 8th-grade Science proficiency rate of 20% compared to the state average of 30%. The school also had a relatively high dropout rate of 5.2% in the 2023-2024 school year.

While the data does not provide the exact percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the absence of this information suggests the school may have a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $9,211, but the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year is not provided, making it difficult to assess the adequacy of resources and support available to students and teachers.
