Summary:
The Career Development Inc. district in Arizona - Northern AZ contains only one high school, Northern AZ Academy for Career Dev. - Taylor, which serves a small student population of 68 students.
The school's academic performance raises concerns, with proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics significantly below state averages. Additionally, the school has a low four-year graduation rate of 42.3% and a high dropout rate of 14.6%. These challenges may be exacerbated by the fact that a significant majority (95.59%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,035), which is higher than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school's demographics, with a predominantly White student body (76.47%), suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate how it is allocating and utilizing its resources to better support the needs of its diverse student population and improve overall educational outcomes.
