Summary

State Online School is an alternative school in Mesa, Arizona, serving grades K–12, with 839 students in Arizona Education Solutions. Its 2025–26 proficiency results show a major academic concern: 17% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, while math proficiency was 4%, compared with 33% statewide. The most important finding is that math proficiency is especially low, even against an already low district result.

Compared with nearby schools reporting all-grades results, State Online is second-lowest in ELA and lowest in math. Only Virtual School of Arizona has a lower ELA score, at 16%; its math score of 5% is the next-lowest reported. State Online’s ELA result is 1 point above its district’s 16%, but 24 points below the state. Its 4% math result matches the district and is 29 points below the state. Graduation is also well below the state: the 2024–25 rate was 33%, close to the district’s 34% but far below the state’s 80%.

Graduation has declined overall in recent years, though it has partly rebounded: the rate fell from 44% in 2020–21 to a low of 28% in 2022–23, then rose to 33% in 2024–25. Across that period, the gap with the state widened from 32 points to 47 points. The latest dropout rate was 15%, higher than the state’s 5% but slightly below the district’s 16%. SchoolDigger school-level rank and star ratings, free/reduced-lunch rate, and student-teacher ratio are not reported; nearby schools also differ in grade span, so comparisons are not fully like for like.
