Summary:
The 85735 zip code in Arizona is home to a single middle school, Altar Valley Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half for the past three years and earning a 2-star rating out of 5.
Altar Valley Middle School's performance is generally below the Altar Valley Elementary District and the state of Arizona as a whole. The school has a 5.2% dropout rate and its test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages, with only 33% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 40%. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, it appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Despite the school's low performance, there are opportunities for improvement. With targeted interventions and resources focused on addressing the school's low test scores and high dropout rate, Altar Valley Middle School has the potential to better support its students and improve educational outcomes. However, the lack of specific data on the socioeconomic status of the student population makes it difficult to determine the underlying factors contributing to the school's persistent challenges.
