Summary:
The city of Colorado City, Arizona is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Colorado City Unified District and Masada Charter School Inc. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Masada Charter School standing out for its exceptional test scores but concerning graduation rates, while El Capitan Public School and Cottonwood Elementary show more mixed academic results.
Masada Charter School's test scores are significantly higher than state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting the school is providing a high-quality education. However, the school's 0% four-year graduation rate raises questions about its overall academic outcomes. In contrast, El Capitan Public School, ranked 39th out of 469 Arizona high schools, has relatively strong test scores but a lower-than-average graduation rate of 68.4% and an 8.7% dropout rate.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Cottonwood Elementary and El Capitan Public School serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their 64.74% and 72.84% free/reduced lunch rates, respectively. The differences in spending per student, with Cottonwood Elementary at $9,677 and El Capitan Public School at $10,634, may contribute to the variations in academic performance across the district.
