Westland School

Public, Charter, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

Westland School is an alternative public charter school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 216 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly Hispanic.

Westland School has seen significant fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from a low of 50.0% in 2020-2021 to a high of 93.3% in 2021-2022. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in its dropout rates, rising from 0.0% in 2018-2019 to 13.4% in the current 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Westland School Brighton Campus. Academically, Westland School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state and Cholla Academy averages across all grade levels.

When comparing Westland School to other nearby schools, such as Highland Prep West, an interesting pattern emerges. Highland Prep West, a charter school in a different district, has lower free and reduced lunch rates and higher academic performance compared to Westland School. This suggests that the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Westland School, reaching 83.8% in the current school year, may be contributing to the academic challenges observed at the school. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions to support student success should be a priority for Westland School and the Cholla Academy district.
