Summary:
The data set provided information on a single high school located in the 85256 zip code - Salt River Accelerated Learning Academy, which serves grades 9-12. This school is part of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community Schools district and has a predominantly Native American student population.
Despite relatively high per-student spending, Salt River Accelerated Learning Academy is struggling across multiple metrics. The school has extremely low academic proficiency rates in core subjects like English and Science, well below state averages. Additionally, it has an alarmingly low 4-year graduation rate of just 9.3% and a high dropout rate of 36.9%. The school's ranking within the state has also declined over the past few years, from 439th out of 509 high schools in 2020-2021 to 390th out of 469 in 2022-2023.
These findings suggest that Salt River Accelerated Learning Academy is facing significant challenges in effectively educating and supporting its predominantly Native American student population. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these issues and identify potential interventions to improve outcomes at the school.
