Summary:
The city of Miami, Arizona is home to 3 schools in the Miami Unified District, including 2 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school. While these schools serve a diverse student population, they face significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates across subjects compared to state averages.
Among the standout schools, Lee Kornegay Intermediate School stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest proficiency rates in AASA Mathematics for grades 3 and 4 within the district. However, it also ranks the lowest among Arizona elementary schools, suggesting room for improvement. In contrast, Miami Junior Senior High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5%, but its academic performance, with only 11% proficiency in 11th grade English Language Arts, remains a concern.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. While the per-student spending varies, with Lee Kornegay Intermediate School having the highest at $7,992, the overall academic performance of the schools indicates a need for targeted interventions and strategic approaches to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
