Summary

Kofa High School is a public high school in Yuma, Arizona, serving 2,323 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Yuma Union High School District, which is ranked 270 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kofa High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, with a current ranking of 246 out of 271 and a 0-star rating.

Kofa High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 25% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 10% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 40% and 30%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate ranges from 77.5% to 94.6%, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate is higher, ranging from 2.1% to 6.1% in recent years. While some student subgroups, such as Asian and Native American students, perform relatively well, Hispanic, African American, and low-socioeconomic status students struggle significantly.

Kofa High School's challenges are not unique, as it is located in close proximity to other low-performing schools, including Vista High School and Yuma Online Distance Academy, which are part of the same district. In contrast, two local charter high schools, Desert View Middle & High School and Desert View Online School, generally outperform Kofa High School in academic achievement, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance.
