Summary:
ASU Preparatory Academy - Phoenix Middle School is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in the ASU Preparatory Academy district, with an enrollment of 416 students. While the school's per-student spending is relatively high at $21,956, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind state averages, ranking in the bottom half of Arizona middle schools over the past three years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like Science, English Language Arts, and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, with only 17% of 5th graders and 14% of 8th graders meeting proficiency in Science, and 11% of 6th graders meeting proficiency in Mathematics. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's high 5.2% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the high per-student spending, the data suggests that ASU Preparatory Academy - Phoenix Middle School is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students, and further investigation into the school's teaching practices, resource allocation, and other factors may be necessary to identify the root causes of the poor performance and develop strategies for improvement within the ASU Preparatory Academy district.
