Summary

Superior Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in the small town of Superior, Arizona, with a student population of 156 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly Hispanic (80.13%), with smaller percentages of White (17.31%) and African American (1.92%) students.

Despite its small size, Superior Junior/Senior High School has faced significant academic challenges in recent years. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 5-15% of students proficient or better in subjects like English Language Arts and Science. This performance is also significantly lower than the nearby Ray Junior/Senior High School and Miami Junior Senior High School. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 77.7% to 96.6%, with the most recent rate at 85.7% in 2021-2022, which is lower than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has been relatively high, ranging from 2.4% to 11.1% in recent years.

One factor that may be contributing to the school's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low-income families, with 25.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is lower than the nearby Ray Unified District and Miami Unified District, where the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is around 48%. The school's overall performance has also been reflected in its low rankings, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom half of Arizona high schools and receiving 1 or 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
