Original Research by School Decision on Amerischools Academy - Country Club
AmeriSchools Academy - Country Club is a regular public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Despite its grade band, the school currently enrolls only through grade eight; there are no students reported in grades nine through twelve. This is a school where the community around it is active and the building is located on Country Club Road in central Tucson, but the academic picture is largely opaque from the data available.
The school serves a small student body. The demographic composition shows that a large majority of students are Hispanic, with smaller shares of White, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. The available data does not include the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, nor does it report the number of students receiving special education services or classified as English learners. A parent looking to understand the level of economic or academic support needs at the school would find these gaps notable and may wish to ask the school directly.
State assessment results for the 2024-25 school year are almost entirely suppressed. For math, English language arts, and science at every tested grade level, the proficiency rate is suppressed by the state, meaning the counts of tested students were too small to report publicly without risking identification of individual students. The number of students tested in each grade is reported for some subjects and grades, generally in the low twenties, which explains the suppression. Because nearly all proficiency data is suppressed, the traditional picture of how students are performing relative to state standards is not available for this school. A multi-year academic trend file shows an overall ELA proficiency rate of about 28 percent and a math rate of about 12 percent, but these appear to come from a single year and do not provide a reliable trend line. A parent should treat those figures with caution and understand that the state’s own reporting indicates the data is too thin for a confident assessment.
The school is a charter school, part of The Charter Foundation Inc., a charter management organization. No magnet or Title I status is reported. The district brief turned up no recent changes of note at the organizational level. There is no information available on discipline rates, chronic absenteeism, staffing ratios, or course access, including Advanced Placement, career and technical education, or dual-enrollment offerings. For a school that covers a K-12 grade span on paper, the absence of any high school program data and the lack of a graduation rate are notable; since the school currently has no high school enrollment, a graduation rate is not applicable.
The school sits in Tucson, a large desert city that blends a historic downtown, the University of Arizona campus, and sprawling suburban neighborhoods. The area around Country Club Road is in the central part of the city, near the university and downtown. Housing values in the school’s ZIP code are below both the state and national benchmarks, and rents are moderate. The local economy is anchored by the university, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and tech and optics industries.
For a family considering this school, the core takeaway is that the available data offers very little to go on. The school is small enough that most of its assessment results are suppressed, and there is no information on many of the dimensions families use to compare schools, such as program offerings, discipline climate, or student support services. A parent would likely need to visit, speak with staff, and ask pointed questions about curriculum, high school plans, and how the school serves students with different needs. This may be a place that works well for some families, but the public record does not provide the evidence to say for whom.
