Summary:
The city of Peridot, Arizona is home to a single public high school, San Carlos High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 393 students. The school is part of the San Carlos Unified District, which is ranked 538 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
San Carlos High School does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Arizona high schools on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking, with a ranking of 464 out of 469 schools in the most recent year. The school has also received a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance. The school's student population is 100% Native American, and a high percentage (87.79%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The data reveals several concerning trends about San Carlos High School, including extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, a high dropout rate, and lower per-student spending compared to the state average. These factors suggest that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its predominantly Native American, economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the school's persistent underperformance and supporting the unique needs of its student body should be a priority for the San Carlos Unified District and the broader community.
