Summary

American Leadership Academy of Applied Technologies is a public charter school located in Mesa, Arizona, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 472 students. The school is part of the American Leadership Academy Inc. district, which is ranked 107 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has seen a fluctuating dropout rate, ranging from 2.4% to 6.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the dropout rates of the nearby American Leadership Academy Gilbert North K-12 and American Leadership Academy Queen Creek K-12 schools, which range from 5.2% to 5.2%. The school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in science (22-32%), English Language Arts (37-51%), and mathematics (33-40%) are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of ELA, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Heritage Academy Gateway, a public charter school, outperforms American Leadership Academy of Applied Technologies on most test score metrics, while Crismon High School, a public school in the Queen Creek Unified District, has lower test scores, particularly in mathematics. Without data on free and reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios, it is difficult to fully assess the school's performance relative to its demographics and resources.
