PPEP TEC - Colin L. Powell Learning Center

Summary:

PPEP TEC - Colin L. Powell Learning Center is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Sierra Vista, Arizona, with a student population of 92. However, this school is significantly underperforming compared to the state and local averages, as well as nearby schools like Tombstone High School, Center for Academic Success #1 - Sierra Vista 9-12, and Buena High School.

PPEP TEC - Colin L. Powell Learning Center consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, with a ranking between 394 and 439 out of 420 to 509 schools over the past several years. It has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance. The school's four-year graduation rates have been extremely low, ranging from 25.5% to 40.4%, and it has had very high dropout rates, ranging from 20.4% to 44.7% in recent years. Proficiency rates on state assessments are also dismal, with only 5-10% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the most recent year.

Despite serving a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic, African American, and Native American students compared to nearby schools, the academic performance of these subgroups is still significantly lower than their peers at the other schools. PPEP TEC - Colin L. Powell Learning Center also appears to be serving a higher proportion of special education and homeless students, but the academic outcomes for these students are still very poor. Addressing these significant challenges should be a top priority for the school and the Portable Practical Educational Preparation Inc. district to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
