Summary:
The 86440 zip code area in Arizona is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. While some schools, like Mohave Valley Junior High School, appear to be performing relatively well compared to state and district averages, the overall academic performance of schools in this area is concerning, with most schools struggling to meet proficiency standards in core subjects.
The data reveals significant performance gaps, with schools consistently scoring below state averages on standardized tests. For example, River Valley High School has 11th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 12% to 26%, well below the state's 30-40% range. Graduation rates at the two high schools, River Valley High School and Pillar Academy of Business & Finance, are also below the state average, at around 78.4%.
The data also suggests significant differences in resource allocation, with the virtual Mohave Valley Connections Academy spending $11,526 per student, compared to the $8,533 to $15,198 range for the other schools. This raises questions about the effectiveness of virtual schooling in the area and the need for more equitable funding across the Colorado River Union High School District, Mohave Valley Elementary District, and Pillar Charter School districts.
