Summary:
The 85361 zip code area in Arizona is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 traditional high school, and 1 virtual high school, all operated by the Nadaburg Unified School District. The data reveals a mix of performance levels, with the Nadaburg Elementary School consistently ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools and struggling with low proficiency rates and a high dropout rate. In contrast, the Mountainside High School performs slightly better, ranking in the middle 50% of Arizona high schools, though its proficiency rates and dropout rate are still concerning.
The Nadaburg Elementary School stands out as the largest school in the area, with 472 students, but it has consistently low performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 23% to 34%, well below the state averages. The school also has a high dropout rate of 5.2%, which is a significant concern. The Mountainside High School, with 304 students, performs slightly better, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29-40%) closer to the state average, but still lagging in Math (21-22%) and Science (17-21%).
The data also reveals funding disparities, with the Nadaburg Online Virtual Academy spending only $1,909 per student, compared to $8,931 per student at the Mountainside High School. Additionally, the lack of middle school options in the 85361 zip code area may create challenges for students transitioning from elementary to high school. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the factors contributing to the challenges faced by these schools.
