Summary:
The Flowing Wells Unified District in Arizona consists of 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 175 out of 289 districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out in their academic performance. J. Robert Hendricks Elementary School and Robert Richardson Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 45-60% and 42-73% of students, respectively, proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These two elementary schools are ranked in the top 40% and top 25% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively. In contrast, Douglas Elementary and Homer Davis Elementary appear to be the lowest performing schools in the district, with test scores well below the state averages.
At the high school level, Flowing Wells High School and Sentinel Peak High School have very similar graduation rates (78.4%) and dropout rates (5.2%), suggesting a more consistent level of performance. However, the district as a whole tends to score below the state averages on standardized tests, with most schools having 20-40% of students proficient or better in core subjects. The wide range in spending per student, from $6,344 to $12,553, also raises questions about potential funding disparities within the district.
