Summary:
The city of Winkelman, Arizona is home to two schools - Leonor Hambly K-8 and Hayden High School, both of which serve the Hayden-Winkelman Unified District. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as both schools are struggling academically with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages.
Leonor Hambly K-8 has an enrollment of 221 students, with a racial makeup that is 88.24% Hispanic and 82.81% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's proficiency rates range from just 4% to 30% in English Language Arts and 4% to 16% in Math, far below the state averages of 37% to 45% and 30% to 43%, respectively. Hayden High School, with an enrollment of 93 students, fares slightly better with a 95.4% graduation rate, but its proficiency rates are also dismal, ranging from 6% to 12% across subject areas compared to state averages of 22% to 40%.
Despite the high per-student spending at Hayden High School ($24,594 compared to $12,771 at Leonor Hambly K-8), the academic outcomes at both schools remain poor, suggesting systemic challenges within the Hayden-Winkelman Unified District. Addressing equity, resource allocation, and instructional quality will be crucial for improving student performance and ensuring that all children in Winkelman receive a high-quality education.
