Ombudsman Online Academy

Public, Charter, Virtual Grades 9-12

Summary

Ombudsman Online Academy is a public charter high school located in Glendale, Arizona, serving 209 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Ombudsman Educational Services Ltd. district, which is ranked 495 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ombudsman Online Academy faces significant challenges, with extremely low 4-year graduation rates of only 14.4% in 2022-2023 and 25.7% in 2021-2022, much lower than the nearby schools like Ombudsman - Charter West, ThrivePoint High School at Grovers, and ThrivePoint Online High School. The school also has very high dropout rates, with 34.9% of students dropping out in 2022-2023 and 45.2% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average.

Academically, Ombudsman Online Academy students perform poorly on standardized tests, with only 6% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3% in Science for 11th graders in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 325 out of 347 high schools in Arizona ranking lower for this student group in 2022-2023. The school's performance has been declining over the years, and the poor performance of this virtual school suggests that the online learning model may not be effectively serving the needs of the student population.
