Quartzite Learning faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.05%) compared to the state average (65.89%), fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 56% to 78.5% over the past few years, and high dropout rates as high as 22.2% in 2022-2023. Academically, Quartzite Learning students perform below the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency on the SBAC assessments. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.51% to 72.88%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Quartzite Learning's performance is generally lower than the nearby alternative schools, such as Home Pride and Panorama School, in terms of academic proficiency, graduation rates, and dropout rates. The school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average does not seem to be translating into better academic performance, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and identify areas for improvement.
