Original Research by School Decision on Cplc Community Schools Dba Toltecalli High School (80032)
CPLC Community Schools dba Toltecalli High School is a small district in Pima County operating a single high school, Toltecali High School, serving grades nine through twelve. The enrollment is small, and the student body is overwhelmingly Hispanic, with very small shares of other racial and ethnic groups. The school’s website and recent district changes were sought but little was found that would affect a parent’s day-to-day experience, so that part of the picture is not available.
Academic performance data, including state test results and graduation rate, are missing from public records. The district does not appear to have reported proficiency rates across subjects or a four-year graduation rate, so it is not possible to characterize academic achievement in the usual way. A parent evaluating this school would need to ask the school directly about how students perform on state assessments and how many graduate.
What is reported is the chronic absenteeism rate, and it sits at the highest possible level, placing Toltecalli in the bottom quartile among Pima County’s districts. This means that every student on record was chronically absent by the state’s definition, a figure that calls for a close conversation with the school to understand the underlying circumstances and what supports are in place.
On the financial side, per-pupil current spending falls in the upper range among the county’s districts, indicating that the district invests more per student than many of its neighbors. No information was available about the school’s programs, course offerings, staffing, discipline, or the community context surrounding the campus, including housing or local amenities. That missing detail limits what any family can know about the day-to-day environment and the peer experience.
For a parent considering this school, the main takeaway is that very little of the standard data—test scores, graduation rates, program breadth—is publicly available, and the absenteeism figure is extreme. This is a place that would require direct inquiry and a visit to fill in the gaps. The limited data suggests a small, mostly Hispanic high school operating with relatively high per-pupil spending but no clear public record of academic outcomes or attendance patterns that would reassure a family looking for a typical secondary pathway.
