Summary:
The city of San Luis, Arizona is home to 11 schools across two school districts - Gadsden Elementary District and Yuma Union High School District. The schools include 7 elementary, 2 middle, and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly Hispanic student population.
Among the standout schools, Desert View Elementary has the highest performance, with test scores consistently above district and state averages. Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ, a public charter school, has a unique student demographic with more white and Asian students, and mixed test score results. The small Sun Valley Elementary stands out with exceptionally high test scores, particularly in math, and a very low student-teacher ratio.
Overall, the district faces systemic challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages in English, Math, and Science. Graduation rates vary widely, from a high of 93.6% at San Luis High School to a low of 42.9% at PPEP TEC - Cesar Chavez Learning Center. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.97% to 96.82%, indicates significant economic disadvantage across the district.
