Summary:

The Balsz Elementary District in Arizona consists of 6 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 281 out of 289 in the state and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools in this district are performing well below the state average.

Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools within the Balsz Elementary District. All of the schools, including David Crockett Elementary, the highest performing school, have test scores that are significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Science. The district's virtual school, Balsz Online Academy (B.O.A.), has a low student-teacher ratio of 5.8, which could be an advantage, but it also has a high dropout rate of 5.2%, which is a concern.

The data also reveals that the district is struggling with high dropout rates, particularly at Pat Tillman Middle School and Balsz Online Academy (B.O.A.), which both have a dropout rate of 5.2%. Additionally, the spending per student varies widely, from $2,722 at Orangedale Early Learning Center to $6,332 at David Crockett Elementary, with an average of $5,111 across the district. These findings suggest that the Balsz Elementary District faces significant challenges in providing quality education to its students and addressing the inequities within the system.
