South Ridge High School

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

South Ridge High School is a public charter high school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 408 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the American Charter Schools Foundation district and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Ridge High School faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and student outcomes. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages, with only 34% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 19% proficient in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 91.5% to a low of 80.7%, which is lower than the state average and some nearby schools. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in its dropout rate, from 0.3% to 4.9%, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools.

While South Ridge High School's performance is generally lower than the state average, it is comparable to some nearby schools, such as Tolleson Union High School and Trevor Browne High School, which also serve predominantly Hispanic and low-income student populations. However, the school lags behind the high-performing University High School, which is also in the nearby Tolleson Union High School District.

I wasn’t here for the long time but the time I was there I had a great time. This school when it comes to education they really mean it. It’s truly a college prep school and makes kids truly dedicate themselves to their futures but as well maintaining a fun time. The school atmosphere is absolutely great I made friends quickly and easily there. Yes, it’s a very small school but the principal tries to make it fun with what they got. Though, the school changes classes every quarter so they tend to at a faster pace requiring great dedication. Besides it’s small space and lack of resources this school isn’t bad and would recommend.
