Summary
Peoria Flex Academy is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in Peoria, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 92 students. However, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools over the past 10 years and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.
Peoria Flex Academy's academic performance is particularly concerning, with extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, ranging from just 7-9% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, compared to state averages of 40%, 32%, and 22% respectively. The school also struggles across various student subgroups, ranking particularly low for White, Hispanic, and low-income students. While the school performs relatively better for special education students, its 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 64.6% and 84.1% over the past 5 years, significantly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 5.8% to 13.8%, much higher than the state.
Interestingly, Peoria Flex Academy's performance lags significantly behind other high schools in the Peoria Unified School District, such as Centennial High School, Ironwood High School, and Peoria High School, which have higher academic rankings, better test scores, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates. Additionally, the nearby Peoria Accelerated High School, a charter school, also struggles academically, suggesting that the challenges faced by Peoria Flex Academy may be indicative of broader educational challenges in the area.
