Canyon Rose Academy

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Canyon Rose Academy is a public charter high school in Tucson, Arizona that serves 175 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Canyon Rose Academy Inc. district, which is ranked 420 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Canyon Rose Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (61.14%) and consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 15.9% to 23.1% over the past five years. This is significantly lower than the nearby Sky Islands (83.3%) and Santa Rita High School (77.9%). The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 18.6% to 28.5%, much higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Canyon Rose Academy's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels.

The school's performance, as measured by its statewide school ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past decade, dropping from a ranking of 184 out of 416 Arizona high schools and a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 371 out of 469 and a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. This decline is in stark contrast to the generally higher-performing nearby schools, such as Sky Islands, Online School of Arizona, and Sonoran Science Academy - Davis Monthan. The challenges faced by Canyon Rose Academy may be attributed to the high percentage of low socioeconomic status and homeless students it serves, as well as fluctuations in funding and resources over the years.
