La Tierra Community School

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

La Tierra Community School is a public charter elementary school serving 120 students in grades K-8 in Prescott, Arizona. The school has a predominantly White student population, with Hispanic students making up the next largest group.

While La Tierra Community School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance on standardized tests has been mixed. The school excelled in 5th grade Science and 7th grade English Language Arts, but struggled in 3rd grade Math. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic and multi-racial students have generally outperformed their White peers. Additionally, La Tierra spends less per student than nearby Willow Creek Charter School.

Compared to nearby schools, La Tierra Community School performs better than Franklin Phonetic Primary School and Willow Creek Charter School on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school lags behind traditional public schools like Abia Judd Elementary and Granite Mountain Middle School in both test scores and statewide rankings. Despite these challenges, La Tierra Community School has maintained a 0% dropout rate, a notable achievement.

Removed my child. Concerned about high turnover ( @40 )due to administation deficits and unprofessional liasons between staff and board members. Combined with gossip and untruths to cover these liasons, I removed my child after a favorite teacher was set up and replaced with a "favored" paraprofessional not qualified to replace the outcast teacher. Too bad, it could be such a positive place. Close Quote
