Pinon Unified District

The Pinon Unified District in Arizona operates three schools: Pinon Elementary School, Pinon High School, and Pinon Accelerated Middle School. Unfortunately, the data reveals that all three schools in this district are performing poorly compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.

Academically, the schools struggle with extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, with all three schools scoring well below the Arizona state averages in subjects like 5th grade ELA and 11th grade Math. Graduation rates at Pinon High School are also concerning, at just 73% - significantly lower than the state average. Dropout rates at Pinon High School and Pinon Accelerated Middle School are also higher than desired.

Across the district, the student populations are overwhelmingly Native American, ranging from 97.2% to 98.8%, much higher than the state average. Additionally, all three schools have extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty in the Pinon Unified District. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the schools are still performing poorly, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
