Summary

San Luis High School is a public high school in San Luis, Arizona, serving 2,586 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Yuma Union High School District, which is ranked 270 out of 289 districts in the state.

While San Luis High School spends more per student ($9,499 in 2021-2022) compared to state and district averages, its academic performance consistently falls below state and district standards. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the district average of 6% and the state average of 19%. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 17% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the district average of 14% and the state average of 30%. The school also has lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Yuma Online Distance Academy and Somerton High School, also perform below the state averages in various metrics, suggesting a broader challenge in the region. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (58.97% in 2022-2023) and the relatively high student-teacher ratio (25.2 in 2023-2024) may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance. Additionally, the school's ability to support different student populations varies, with some subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Migrant students, performing better than others.
