Future Investment Middle School

Public, Charter Grades 6-8

Summary

Future Investment Middle School is a public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 49 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the StrengthBuilding Partners district, which is ranked 250 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, Future Investment Middle School stands out as having a significantly higher Hispanic student population (81.63%) and lower test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, ranging from a high of 3 stars in 2016-2017 to a low of 1 star in several years. Notably, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 6.4%, which is higher than the surrounding Tucson Unified District and Sunnyside Unified District schools.

Another key finding is the dramatic increase in spending per student at Future Investment Middle School, from $4,071 in 2018-2019 to $23,339 in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the surrounding schools. However, it is unclear whether this significant increase in spending has translated into improved student outcomes. The school's performance on various subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, has been consistently lower than the state and district averages, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these student populations.
