Summary:
The 85701 zip code area of Tucson, Arizona is home to a single middle school, the Paulo Freire Freedom School - Downtown, a public charter school serving grades 6-8 with a relatively small enrollment of 62 students. The school is part of the CITY Center for Collaborative Learning district, which is ranked 88 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, going from 160 out of 605 Arizona middle schools in 2018-2019 to 222 out of 832 in 2020-2021, and then dropping to 294 out of 854 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's performance on the AASA/English Language Arts assessment for 7th grade is noteworthy, with 52% of students proficient or better, compared to 48% for the district and 41% for the state.
The school's dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 5.2%, and it spent $8,340 per student in the 2021-2022 school year. While the data does not provide the specific free/reduced lunch rate or student-teacher ratio, the small school size may offer opportunities for more personalized attention and support for students. Overall, the analysis highlights the school's academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, but also suggests potential performance challenges as indicated by the fluctuating statewide ranking.
