Ombudsman Online Academy

Summary:

Ombudsman Online Academy is a public charter high school located in Glendale, Arizona, serving 209 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Ombudsman Educational Services Ltd. district, which is ranked 495 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ombudsman Online Academy faces significant challenges, with extremely low 4-year graduation rates of only 14.4% in 2022-2023 and 25.7% in 2021-2022, much lower than the nearby schools like Ombudsman - Charter West, ThrivePoint High School at Grovers, and ThrivePoint Online High School. The school also has very high dropout rates, with 34.9% of students dropping out in 2022-2023 and 45.2% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average.

Academically, Ombudsman Online Academy students perform poorly on standardized tests, with only 6% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3% in Science for 11th graders in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 325 out of 347 high schools in Arizona ranking lower for this student group in 2022-2023. The school's performance has been declining over the years, and the poor performance of this virtual school suggests that the online learning model may not be effectively serving the needs of the student population.

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.
