Summary:
The city of Elfrida, Arizona is home to two schools - Elfrida Elementary School and Valley Union High School. Both schools are struggling, with low academic proficiency rates and poor overall rankings within the state of Arizona.
Elfrida Elementary School has very low proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics, with most grades performing well below the state average. The school is ranked 943 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Valley Union High School has a 81.5% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, and a 3.2% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average.
Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 74.53% of Elfrida Elementary School students and 49.06% of Valley Union High School students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the academic performance remains significantly below state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in this rural community.
