Summary:
The 86413 zip code has only one school, Black Mountain Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 and is part of the Kingman Unified School District. With a total enrollment of 513 students, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, performing below state and district averages in academic assessments such as Science, English Language Arts, and Mathematics.
Black Mountain Elementary School's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 27% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the district average of 27% and the state average of 34%. Additionally, the school had a concerning 5.2% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is unusually high for an elementary school. Despite the school's per-student spending of $11,633 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average, the student-teacher ratio of 18.3 for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for elementary schools.
The lack of information about the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, a common indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population, makes it difficult to fully understand the context and potential challenges faced by the students. Overall, the analysis of the single school in the data set reveals some concerning trends, including consistently low academic performance and a high dropout rate, which warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for the students in this area.
