Summary:
The city of Golden Valley, Arizona has only one school in the data set - Black Mountain Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 and is part of the Kingman Unified School District. Black Mountain Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.
The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all falling below district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (76.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a higher-than-average spending per student of $11,633, raising questions about how resources are being allocated.
Overall, the data suggests that Black Mountain Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's performance issues and develop targeted interventions to address them. While the school's racial makeup is diverse, with a majority White student population and significant Hispanic representation, the data does not indicate a correlation between the school's performance and its racial composition.
