Summary:
The Colorado River Union High School District in Arizona operates three high schools: Mohave High School, River Valley High School, and CRUHSD Academy. These schools face significant challenges, with low statewide rankings, consistently underperforming test scores, and graduation rates below the state average.
Mohave High School and River Valley High School rank in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, while CRUHSD Academy, the district's virtual high school, ranks near the bottom. All three schools demonstrate proficiency rates well below the state averages in 11th-grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, Mohave High School's 11th-grade proficiency rates were just 22% in ELA, 12% in Math, and 12% in Science, compared to state averages of 40%, 30%, and 19%, respectively.
The district's four-year graduation rate of 78.4% is lower than the state average, and the 5.2% dropout rate across the schools is concerning. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary, with CRUHSD Academy having a notably higher ratio of 41.8 students per teacher, compared to 20.3 at Mohave High School and 17.6 at River Valley High School. While spending per student ranges from $7,174 to $8,533, the overall academic performance and student outcomes suggest that the Colorado River Union High School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
