What stands out at Adventure School

Adventure School is a higher-need, mid-sized charter elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, enrolling 141 students.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 55.3% lands close to the Arizona typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 141 puts it in the smaller third of Arizona schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 2,064 scored Arizona schools.

Against 81 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #31.

Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (60%) and White (27%) (diversity index 56/100).

Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 282 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.

Its district draws 30.6% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Tucson's elementary schools, it stands alongside Los Amigos Elementary School (613 students): Adventure School is smaller than that campus by headcount.

Educational Impact Inc. (81123) is a single-school charter district, so Adventure School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
