Dysart iSchool

Summary:

Dysart iSchool is a public virtual high school serving grades 7-12 in the Dysart Unified District in Surprise, Arizona, with 106 students. This relatively small school has seen fluctuations in its racial makeup, with Hispanic and White students making up the majority of the student population.

Dysart iSchool has shown strong performance, with its statewide ranking improving from 240th out of 509 Arizona high schools in 2020-2021 to 119th out of 469 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating increasing from 3 to 4 stars out of 5. The school has particularly excelled in serving certain student subgroups, ranking 4th out of 24 Arizona high schools for English Language Learner students and 12th out of 380 for Special Education students in 2021-2022. However, Dysart iSchool has seen significant fluctuations in its four-year graduation rate, ranging from a low of 39.5% in 2019-2020 to a high of 85.2% in 2020-2021, suggesting challenges in consistently supporting its students to graduation.

Compared to the nearby traditional high schools, such as Willow Canyon High School and Valley Vista High School, Dysart iSchool's performance is generally stronger in terms of state rankings and test scores, though the traditional high schools have significantly higher enrollment and graduation rates. As a virtual school, Dysart iSchool likely faces unique challenges and opportunities, and understanding the school's approach to virtual instruction and student engagement could provide valuable insights.

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.
