Summary:

The high schools located in the 85536 zip code area of Arizona present a stark contrast, with one larger, relatively higher-performing school and one smaller, struggling alternative school. Fort Thomas High School serves 252 students, the majority of whom are Native American, and has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, while San Carlos Alternative High School, with 100% Native American enrollment, faces significant challenges with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and academic performance far below state averages.

Fort Thomas Unified District and San Carlos Unified District serve this region, and the data reveals a significant disparity in resources and outcomes between the two high schools. Fort Thomas High School has a per-student spending of $14,877 and a 10.5 student-teacher ratio, while San Carlos Alternative High School has a mere $739 per-student spending and an unknown student-teacher ratio, contributing to its struggles.

The high percentage of Native American students in both schools highlights the need for educational equity and support for these communities. While Fort Thomas High School shows promise, the persistent challenges faced by San Carlos Alternative High School underscore the importance of providing high-quality, tailored educational options to serve the diverse needs of students in this region.
