Summary:
The Sedona-Oak Creek JUSD #9 district in Arizona serves students from elementary through high school, with three schools in the area: Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School, West Sedona Elementary School, and Red Rock Academy. The data reveals a mixed picture, with the high school showing signs of improvement while the elementary and alternative schools face challenges.
Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School has seen its statewide ranking improve, moving from 143rd out of 469 Arizona high schools in 2022-2023 to 166th out of 270/271 in the following two years. Its 11th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates are also above the district and state averages, and it has a relatively low dropout rate of 5.2%. In contrast, West Sedona Elementary School has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is better than the district's overall 1-star rating, but its English Language Arts proficiency rates in grades 6-8 are lower than the state averages.
The data also reveals a significant disparity in resource allocation, with West Sedona Elementary School spending $13,130 per student, compared to $6,833 at Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School and $4,440 at Red Rock Academy. This suggests the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure more equitable distribution and targeted interventions to address the disparities in academic performance across the schools.
