Sequoia Lehi Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-6

Summary

Sequoia Lehi Charter School is a small public charter school in Mesa, Arizona, serving around 90 students in grades K-6. It is operated by the Mesa Unified District, which is ranked 72 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Sequoia Lehi stands out from nearby schools in several ways. It has a higher percentage of White students (55.56%) compared to the more diverse student populations in the area. Academically, the school performs better than state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts, with 69% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in 2022-2023, compared to 42% statewide. However, the school's overall ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 252 out of 1,226 Arizona elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 417 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023. Sequoia Lehi also spends significantly more per student ($14,623 in 2021-2022) than the nearby Mesa Unified District schools, which spend around $7,500 to $10,000 per student.

While Sequoia Lehi generally outperforms the nearby Mesa Unified District schools, some charter schools in the area, such as Montessori Education Centre Charter School - North Campus, also demonstrate strong academic performance. The higher spending per student and the school's racial/socioeconomic makeup may be contributing factors to Sequoia Lehi's academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to establish clear causal relationships.
