Summary

ASU Preparatory Academy Digital is a virtual public charter school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 3,563 students in Tempe, Arizona. As a virtual school, it provides a unique educational experience compared to traditional brick-and-mortar schools in the area.

While the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rates, dropping from 77.5% in 2022-2023 to 68.9% in 2023-2024, its dropout rates have fluctuated, ranging from 4.1% to 9.8% in recent years. Compared to nearby charter schools like BASIS Ahwatukee, which maintained a 78.4% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, ASU Preparatory Academy Digital's performance lags behind. Additionally, the school's test scores are mixed, with some subjects and grade levels performing better than the state average, while others, particularly in Mathematics, fall behind.

Another area of concern is the significant decrease in per-student spending at ASU Preparatory Academy Digital, from $23,551 in 2018-2019 to $7,086 in 2020-2021, which is lower than the spending at nearby schools like Great Hearts Academies - Archway Veritas. This decline in funding and resources may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to its high-performing charter school counterparts in the local area.
