Canyon Rose Academy-East

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Canyon Rose Academy-East is a public charter high school located in Tucson, Arizona that serves grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 70 students. While the school has a more diverse student body compared to nearby schools, it has struggled academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages.

Canyon Rose Academy-East's academic performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from 175th out of 509 high schools in the state in 2020-2021 to 348th out of 469 in 2022-2023. The school's graduation rate of 63% and dropout rate of 9.5% are also lower than the state and nearby school averages. Interestingly, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Asian students performing significantly better than other racial/ethnic groups.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Tanque Verde High School, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, Canyon Rose Academy-East generally underperforms. The school's per-student spending has also fluctuated significantly, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. To improve the school's overall performance, the Tanque Verde Unified District and school leadership may need to implement targeted strategies to address the achievement gaps and provide more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
