San Simon School

Public, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

San Simon School is an alternative public school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 98 students in San Simon, Arizona, as part of the San Simon Unified District. The school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, reaching 100% in 2018-2019, and very low dropout rates, which are significantly better than the state average. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions, such as the 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate exceeding the state average.

San Simon School has seen significant fluctuations in its per-student spending, ranging from $3,984 in 2019-2020 to $22,492 in 2021-2022, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has also fluctuated, from 12.28% in 2021-2022 to 73.47% in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be serving a population with increasing economic challenges.

While San Simon School has some strengths, such as its high graduation rates and low dropout rates, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance across grade levels. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better support its students and improve their educational outcomes.
