Kaizen Education Foundation dba El Dorado High School

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Kaizen Education Foundation dba El Dorado High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Chandler, Arizona, with a student population of 203. However, the school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high dropout rates, and struggles in serving its diverse student population.

El Dorado High School has a higher percentage of Hispanic (58.62%) and African American (14.78%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools, with only 4-6% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 0% proficient in Mathematics. Its four-year graduation rates are extremely low, ranging from 17.8% to 44.8% in recent years, and the school has high dropout rates, ranging from 17.9% to 27.3%. While the school performs relatively well in serving its special education population, it struggles with its low-income student population, ranking in the bottom quartile for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Leading Edge Academy Gilbert Early College, Dobson High School, and Chandler High School, El Dorado High School consistently underperforms across a range of metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and racial diversity. The school's performance has also been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 307 out of 491 schools in 2012-2013 to 432 out of 469 schools in the most recent year. These challenges suggest the need for substantial interventions and improvements to better support the school's diverse student population.

EDHS is a joke! They are only concerned with filling the school with bodies to get more state money. There is no support from the administration for the teachers who have to deal with these students that no other school wants, which is why many "good" students leave. The new principal only taught for a year and a half and does not even have an adminstrator certificate. He has been overheard making racial slurs about the students, and constantly compares his own two "white" children with the EDHS students and tells them how they will never amount to anything compared to his kids. The new assistant principal taught social studies for two years and is the football coach. What a coincidence. Atheletes are given full reign of the school, where as non atheletes are dealt with a lot harsher. The focus is on sports not academics, and if you are looking for a place for your student to get a good education, do not send them there! Close Quote
