CASA Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-7

Summary

CASA Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 281 students in grades K-6 in Phoenix, Arizona.

CASA Academy has consistently been ranked in the bottom tier of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to the state averages of 39% and 43%, respectively. Despite CASA Academy's higher spending per student of $9,332, compared to the state average, the school's performance remains significantly below par.

When comparing CASA Academy to nearby schools, the differences are stark. Alhambra Traditional School, which is just 1.58 miles away, ranked 93 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools in 2022-2023 and had much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to CASA Academy's poor outcomes.
