Imagine Bell Canyon

Summary:

Imagine Bell Canyon is a public charter elementary school serving 286 students in grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, and is part of the Deer Valley Unified District, which is ranked 277 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Imagine Bell Canyon has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students compared to nearby schools like Park Meadows Elementary School and Mirage Elementary School. However, the school consistently underperforms academically compared to the state and nearby schools, with most students scoring below average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with strong performance for special education students but poor performance for Hispanic and White students.

Imagine Bell Canyon serves a community with significant economic challenges, with 76.57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of its low-income student population. Overall, Imagine Bell Canyon faces several challenges in terms of academic performance and meeting the diverse needs of its student body, and the school's leadership and the broader community may need to work collaboratively to develop and implement strategies that can help improve student outcomes.

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.

Open Quote I have seen so much improvement in the staff over the past couple years, the teachers my son has this year in 7th grade have made such a huge effort in helping my son and myself. I have seen them go above and beyond to make sure my son succeeds. All schools have growing pains and nowhere is perfect, but the dedication the teachers and staff here have are amazing.

Open Quote This school has made a 180 degree turn-around. With all new caring and talented teachers, it is a wonderful place for my child. Beyond academic is the social and character skills all students learn. I'm so glad we stayed and the new administration has kept their promises. Close Quote

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.
