Summary:
The 85349 zip code area in Arizona is home to two middle schools - Southwest Junior High School and San Luis Middle School. Both schools serve grades 6-8 and are part of the Gadsden Elementary District, which is ranked 222nd out of 289 districts in the state.
Based on the available data, neither school stands out as a high-performing institution. Southwest Junior High School is ranked 308th out of 552 Arizona middle schools and has a 2-star rating, while San Luis Middle School is ranked 459th and has a 1-star rating. Both schools perform significantly below the state average in academic proficiency, particularly in 8th grade Science, where the proficiency rates are 15% and 11%, respectively, compared to the state average of 30%.
The data also reveals that both schools have a 5.2% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, and their per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest that resource allocation may not be effectively translating into better academic performance. The persistent underperformance of these schools, coupled with the district-level challenges, indicates a need for targeted interventions and a deeper investigation into the root causes of the educational challenges in this area.
