Summary:
The city of Lake Havasu City, Arizona is home to a single middle school, Thunderbolt Middle School, which serves 851 students in grades 7-8. While the school has a significant student population, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state and Lake Havasu Unified District averages.
Thunderbolt Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for both 7th and 8th grades lag behind the district and state averages. For example, in 8th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 34%, compared to the district's 34% and the state's 35%. Similarly, in 8th grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 25%, compared to the district's 24% and the state's 28%. The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate of 27% matched the state average but was slightly below the district's 26%.
Additionally, Thunderbolt Middle School's SchoolDigger ranking has fluctuated between 2 and 3 stars out of 5 over the past few years, indicating it is not among the top-performing middle schools in Arizona. The school's financial and resource allocation, with a per-student spending of $5,992 and a student-teacher ratio of 27.4 to 1, may also be contributing factors to its academic performance challenges. Further investigation into the school's practices and resources could help identify areas for improvement to better support student learning and achievement.
