Summary:
The Coolidge Unified District in Arizona is home to three high schools: Coolidge High School, Coolidge Alternative Program, and Coolidge Virtual Academy. While Coolidge High School appears to be the strongest performing school in the district, the other two schools are struggling, with significantly lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates.
Coolidge High School has the highest four-year graduation rate at 89.2% and the lowest dropout rate at 3.1%. Its academic performance, while still below state averages, is better than the other two schools in the district. In contrast, Coolidge Alternative Program and Coolidge Virtual Academy have graduation rates of only 45% and 52% respectively, and dropout rates of 8.2% and 26.5% respectively. These schools also have much lower academic proficiency rates compared to state averages.
The wide disparity in performance between Coolidge High School and the other two schools in the district is concerning, suggesting that students in the Coolidge Unified District may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities. The district as a whole serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges and improving academic outcomes should be a top priority for the Coolidge Unified District to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
