Original Research by School Decision on Crown Point High School
Crown Point High School is a public charter alternative school serving grades nine through twelve in Glendale. It is part of a small single-school charter district operating under the name James Sandoval Preparatory High School. With an enrollment that is small for a high school, the student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a smaller share of Black students and a modest number of White students, according to reported demographics. The school sits in a large suburban city that borders Phoenix, where a mix of residential neighborhoods, major retail centers, sports and entertainment venues, and industrial employers shape the local economy. Landmarks like State Farm Stadium, Westgate Entertainment District, and Luke Air Force Base are part of the broader context.
This is an alternative school, and its structure reflects that designation. No state assessment results were available for Crown Point High School. Because alternative schools sometimes do not participate in standard testing at the same scale as traditional schools, the absence of proficiency data does not carry the same meaning it would for a conventional high school. Similarly, the data did not include a four-year graduation rate, chronic absenteeism rate, or any broad academic performance metrics. A parent or guardian considering this school may want to ask the school directly for its own internal data on academic progress and post-graduation outcomes, since the public data profile is thin on these points.
The school’s enrollment is spread across all four high school grades, with the largest share in the senior class. Information on free or reduced-price meal eligibility was missing from the record, so the economic composition of the student body is not clear from the available data. Likewise, data on students with disabilities and English learners was not reported. The school does not appear to have a Title I designation, and no information on discipline, staffing, or course access was available in the data provided. These gaps leave a significant picture of day-to-day student experience and support structures unaccounted for in publicly reported figures.
Glendale itself is a steadily growing city. Its built environment is largely auto-oriented, with walkable pockets limited to Historic Downtown and the Westgate Entertainment District. The city’s park system offers regional open spaces, and the economy is anchored by Luke Air Force Base, health care employers, retail centers, and manufacturers like Honeywell Aerospace. Housing values in the immediate area have seen a modest decline recently, and rents have also slipped slightly, both trends running against a national uptick. The broader economic context includes a national unemployment rate and a 30-year mortgage rate that sits at a moderate level.
Crown Point High School is a small alternative setting in a large suburban city. The public record provides very little on academic performance, student support data, or program offerings. For families seeking an alternative school where the standard testing framework may not apply, this school fits that category, but the available evidence leaves most questions about academic outcomes and school environment unanswered. Any family considering this school would need to gather information directly from the school to form a meaningful picture of what it offers.
