Summary:
The Sahuarita Unified District in Arizona consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with school sizes ranging from 100 to 1,235 students. Overall, the district is ranked 143 out of 289 in Arizona and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out for their academic performance. Copper View Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Similarly, Wrightson Ridge K-8 School also demonstrates strong academic achievement, with test scores above the district and state averages in many grade levels. In contrast, the Sahuarita Digital Pathways Academy, an alternative virtual school, stands out for its relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, as well as its graduation and dropout rates that are on par with the district's high schools.
The data also reveals significant variability in test proficiency rates across the district, both within individual schools and compared to state averages. This suggests that while some schools are successfully preparing students for standardized assessments, others may need to address academic performance gaps. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $4,994 to $11,252, indicates potential funding disparities that could impact educational resources and opportunities across the district.
