What stands out at Da Vinci Tree Academy
Da Vinci Tree Academy is a mid-sized charter elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, enrolling 265 students.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 35.7% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 265 puts it in the smaller third of Arizona schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 2,064 Arizona schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 115 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Arizona schools statewide, it ranks #112, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (54%) and White (32%) (diversity index 60/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 35.5% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 25.0% 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): Da Vinci Tree Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount.
Science Technology Engineering and Math Arizona (1000050) is a single-school charter district, so Da Vinci Tree Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
