TIA West

Public, Charter, Alternative Grades K-12
Summary

TIA West is an alternative public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 125 students in grades K-12. The school has a diverse student population, with the majority being Hispanic (84%).

TIA West stands out for its exceptional academic performance. The school has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the past 5 years, significantly outperforming the state average. In academic proficiency, TIA West outshines its district, Tucson International Academy Inc., with higher percentages of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts (40% vs. 31%) and Mathematics (20% vs. 15%). However, the school lags behind some nearby alternative schools, such as Amphi Academy Online and Presidio School, in terms of test scores and graduation rates.

Another notable aspect of TIA West is its high level of spending per student, which has increased from $12,519 in 2019-2020 to $43,771 in 2021-2022. This significant investment may contribute to the school's strong performance, particularly in areas like graduation and dropout rates. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is not provided, making it difficult to assess how this factor may impact the school's success.
