Summary

Pan-American Charter School is an alternative school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 1,221 students in kindergarten through grade 12. In 2025–26, 24% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 13% in math. The most important finding is that both results trail the state, with math the larger concern: the school is 17 points below the state in ELA and 20 points below in math.

ELA is the school’s stronger subject, but its results are still low compared with nearby schools. Among nearby schools with reportable all-grade scores, Pan-American ranks third-lowest in ELA: its 24% is close to 22% at Arizona Virtual Academy and 25% at Westland School. Its math result is second-lowest among the five schools with reportable results, ahead of Arizona Virtual Academy’s 6% but below the other reported scores. The available nearby-school averages are 37% in ELA and 28% in math. Results reported for the school and Pan-American Elementary Charter district are identical, so there is no school-to-district gap.

Some results have improved over time, though progress has not been consistent. The dropout rate fell from 24% in 2022–23 to 5% in 2024–25, an 18-point decrease, but the latest rate remained just above the state’s 5%. Fifth-grade science stayed near 16% across three years, while eighth-grade science rose from 12% to 18% over the same period after reaching 23% in 2023–24. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 18, compared with a 13.9 average among nearby schools with reported ratios; its reported free- or reduced-price lunch rate was 97% in 2022–23.
