Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the 85941 zip code - Canyon Day Junior High School, which serves grades 7-8 and is part of the Whiteriver Unified District. The data suggests this school is struggling, with consistently low rankings, poor academic performance, and high dropout rates.

Canyon Day Junior High School has received a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 848 out of 854 Arizona middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are significantly below the state average, with only 11% of 8th graders and 8% of 7th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40% and 41%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a concerning 5.2% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, which could be a positive factor, the high spending per student of $12,781 for the 2019-2020 school year does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The location of the school in the 85941 zip code, which likely serves a high-need population, may contribute to the school's challenges and the need for additional support and resources to improve the quality of education provided to its students.
