Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School

Summary:

Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School is a public charter high school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 191 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (78.53%) and serves a high-need community, with 70.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite serving this high-need population, Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very low academic performance. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are alarmingly low, with only 6% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, 4% proficient in Mathematics, and 10% proficient in Science. These rates are significantly below the state averages of 40%, 32%, and 22%, respectively. The school has also struggled with extremely low graduation rates, ranging from 12.9% to 20.9% over the past 5 years, compared to the state average of around 80%, and high dropout rates ranging from 24.0% to 31.8%.

When compared to nearby schools, the academic performance gap is quite evident. For example, Franklin Police and Fire High School, which is 1.8 miles away, outperforms Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit High School on state assessments and has a much higher graduation rate of 97.3%. Similarly, Phoenix Union Bioscience High School, located 0.74 miles away, ranks among the top 25 high schools in Arizona and has proficiency rates that are significantly higher than the state averages. Despite the school's low performance, there is little evidence of significant improvement over the past 10 years, indicating a need for substantial interventions and support to 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.

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.
