Summary:
The 86406 zip code in Arizona has only one middle school, Thunderbolt Middle School, which is part of the Lake Havasu Unified District. While the district is ranked 161 out of 289 in the state, Thunderbolt Middle School's performance has fluctuated, ranking as high as 269 out of 552 Arizona middle schools in 2024-2025 but as low as 343 out of 854 in 2022-2023, both with a 3-star rating.
Thunderbolt Middle School's test scores are generally below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 7th and 8th grades, though the school performs slightly better in Science, with 37% of 8th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 34% and the state's 30%. The school also has a relatively high dropout rate of 5.2% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is a concern.
While the school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $5,992, which is in line with the state average, the student-teacher ratio of 20.9 for the 2023-2024 school year is relatively high, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students. Overall, the data suggests that Thunderbolt Middle School may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation into the school's specific issues and strategies for improvement would be beneficial.
