Colorado River Union High School District

The Colorado River Union High School District in Arizona encompasses three high schools: Mohave High School, River Valley High School, and CRUHSD Academy. While the district faces significant challenges, with a ranking of 267 out of 288 districts in Arizona and a 0-star rating, some schools within the district stand out.

River Valley High School emerges as a standout, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.0% and higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, CRUHSD Academy consistently underperforms, with only 3% proficiency in ELA and Mathematics, a low 4-year graduation rate of 55.9%, and a high dropout rate of 19.9%.

The data also reveals disparities in funding, with River Valley High School spending the most per student at $8,533, while Mohave High School spends the least at $7,174 per student. These differences in resources may contribute to the performance gaps observed across the district, and further investigation is needed to understand the relationship between funding and student outcomes.
