Summary

Prescott Valley School is an alternative public charter school serving 426 students in grades K-12 in Prescott Valley, Arizona, which is part of the Prescott Valley Charter School district. While the school has seen a steady increase in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 78.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, its dropout rate has also increased, reaching 5.2% in the same year.

Compared to the state average and nearby charter schools like American Heritage Academy - Cottonwood and BASIS Prescott, Prescott Valley School's test scores are generally lower, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-8 below the state and district averages in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 19.76% in 2021-2022 to 59.72% in 2022-2023, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the surrounding schools.

While Prescott Valley School's spending per student has increased from $10,337 in 2018-2019 to $10,855 in 2019-2020, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance metrics still lag behind the nearby charter schools. This suggests that Prescott Valley School may need to examine its educational practices and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and reducing its dropout rate.
