Benson Unified School District

The Benson Unified School District in Arizona operates 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district's schools generally perform at a consistent 3-star level, with some standout schools like Benson High School and Benson Middle School outperforming the district and state averages in key metrics.

Benson High School is the top-performing school in the district, ranked 86th out of 271 Arizona high schools. It has higher test scores than the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a relatively low dropout rate of 5.2% and a 78.4% four-year graduation rate. Benson Middle School also stands out, ranking 222nd out of 552 Arizona middle schools and outperforming the district and state in 8th grade Science and English Language Arts.

In contrast, Benson Primary School struggles, with test scores generally below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5. The district's alternative school, Benson Digital Learning Center, maintains similar graduation and dropout rates as the traditional high school, suggesting it is effectively serving its student population. However, the Benson Digital Learning Center Online has an exceptionally high student-teacher ratio of 80:1, which may present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to students.
