Tempe Elementary Online Community

Public, Virtual Grades K-8
Summary

Tempe Elementary Online Community is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Tempe, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 89 students. This online school is part of the Tempe School District, which is ranked 311 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tempe Elementary Online Community stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (17.98%), Hispanic (51.69%), Native American (7.87%), and Pacific Islander (2.25%) students compared to the nearby traditional public schools. However, the school struggles academically, ranking in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools with a 2-star rating. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the Tempe School District and Arizona state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a very high dropout rate of 28% for the 2021-2022 school year, much higher than the typical elementary school.

Despite these challenges, Tempe Elementary Online Community performs well for its special education students, ranking 16th out of 145 Arizona elementary schools in this category for the 2021-2022 school year. This suggests that the online learning model may be better suited for certain student populations. Compared to nearby traditional public schools like Fuller Elementary, Ward Traditional Academy, and Rover Elementary, which all outperform Tempe Elementary Online Community in test scores and overall state rankings, the online school's diverse student population is a unique characteristic.
