Summary:

The Union Elementary District in Arizona consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Dos Rios Elementary and Union Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Hurley Ranch Elementary). Unfortunately, none of the schools in this district appear to be performing well, with all three schools ranking significantly below the state average on key metrics such as test scores, dropout rates, and school ratings.

Dos Rios Elementary is ranked 1202 out of 1245 Arizona elementary schools and has a 0 out of 5 star rating, while Hurley Ranch Elementary is ranked 720 out of 854 Arizona middle schools with a 1 out of 5 star rating. Union Elementary School has a historical ranking of 1028 out of 1062 Arizona elementary schools and does not have a current star rating. The schools also have relatively high dropout rates, with Dos Rios Elementary at 7.0% and Hurley Ranch Elementary at 5.4%.

Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (61.84% to 66.88%) and low spending per student ($9,648 to $12,071). The student populations are predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 66.67% to 74.5%, with African American students making up the next largest racial group. Proficiency rates on state assessments are alarmingly low, with 3rd grade ELA proficiency at Dos Rios Elementary at just 6% compared to the state average of 41%. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners in the Union Elementary District.
