Summary:
The Yuma Elementary District in Arizona consists of 19 schools, including 14 elementary schools and 5 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district encompasses a range of school performance levels, with some schools ranking highly in the state and others struggling to meet academic standards.
Among the standout schools in the district, Dorothy Hall Elementary ranks 379th out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math. O.C. Johnson School also performs well, ranking 503rd and boasting particularly high math proficiency. Additionally, Alice Byrne Elementary ranks 544th and has solid scores in both English Language Arts and Math.
However, the district also faces significant challenges, with all middle schools reporting a 5.2% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. Overall, proficiency rates across the district and state are low, with most schools scoring below 40% proficient in English Language Arts and Math. The data also reveals that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to stronger academic outcomes, as some of the lower-spending schools are outperforming their higher-spending counterparts.
