Summary:
The 85202 zip code area in Arizona has only one middle school, Rhodes Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is significantly below the Mesa Unified District and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16% of 7th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 36% in the district and 41% statewide.
Rhodes Junior High School has a student population of 679, with a predominantly Hispanic student body (63.62%). The school also has a high percentage (67.89%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Additionally, the school's dropout rate for the 2021-2022 school year was 3.3%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1, the data suggests that Rhodes Junior High School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve outcomes for the students.
