Summary

Harvest Preparatory Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Yuma, Arizona, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,054 students. The school is part of the Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc. district, which is ranked 226 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harvest Preparatory Academy has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 96.4% in 2021-2022 to 76.6% in 2021-2022, which is significantly lower than the state's average. The school's dropout rate has also been increasing, rising from 3.3% in 2019-2020 to 5.2% in 2023-2024, higher than the district and state averages. In most grade levels and subject areas, the school's proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 16% of 11th-grade students projected to be proficient or better in science in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 22%. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 80% of the student population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The consistent underperformance of Harvest Preparatory Academy compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency is a significant concern, suggesting the need for more effective instructional strategies and interventions. The fluctuations in the school's four-year graduation rate also warrant further investigation, and a comprehensive improvement plan that addresses academic achievement, graduation rates, dropout prevention, and student support services could be crucial in addressing the school's challenges.
