Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Think Through Academy is a small public charter high school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 45. The school has a unique demographic makeup, with Hispanic students making up the majority, followed by African American and White students.

While Think Through Academy's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates significantly lower than state averages in subjects like Science and Math, the school's struggles extend beyond test scores. The school has consistently low graduation rates, with only 41.7% of students graduating in 4 years, compared to 73.2% at nearby Carl Hayden High School and 98.3% at Metro Technical High School. Dropout rates at Think Through Academy are also alarmingly high, reaching 32.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, much higher than the state and district averages.

The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing better than White students and female students performing poorly compared to their peers statewide. Additionally, Think Through Academy serves a high-needs population, with 86.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Alhambra High School (85.93%) and Phoenix Union High School District (89.97%). While the school's challenges are significant, further investigation into its specialized programs and the unique needs of its student population could provide valuable insights to support their success.
