Pan-American Charter School

Summary:

Pan-American Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 1,123 students in grades K-12 with a predominantly Hispanic student population.

The school has seen fluctuations in its graduation rates, ranging from a high of 94.1% in 2018-2019 to a low of 79.3% in 2020-2021, with the most recent rate in 2021-2022 at 92.0%. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in its dropout rate, rising from 1.9% in 2019-2020 to 23.5% in the 2022-2023 school year. Academically, Pan-American Charter School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state average across various grade levels and subject areas, with English Language Arts proficiency ranging from 17% to 40% and Mathematics proficiency ranging from 11% to 18%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as BASIS Phoenix Central Primary, Pan-American Charter School's academic performance is generally lower. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.88% to 96.92% in the past two school years, suggesting that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. The school's leadership and the local community should work together to address these challenges and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and ensure the long-term success of the school.

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.
