Summary

Seven Mile School is an elementary school located in Whiteriver, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 436 students. The school is part of the Whiteriver Unified District.

Based on the data provided, Seven Mile School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arizona over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 699 out of 909 schools in 2024-2025 to as low as 1240 out of 1245 schools in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in AASA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46% statewide, and 27% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 42% statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 92.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023 and 2021-2022.

The challenges faced by Seven Mile School are not unique, as the two nearby schools within the Whiteriver Unified District, Cradleboard School and Whiteriver Elementary, also perform poorly, with rankings and academic proficiency levels similar to or slightly better than Seven Mile School. Despite the additional resources and attention the school may be receiving, Seven Mile School has not shown any consistent improvement in its academic performance or statewide rankings over the past several years, indicating that the school may be facing deeper, more complex challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address.
