Ajo Unified District

The Ajo Unified District in Arizona consists of two schools: Ajo Elementary School and Ajo High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are ranked below average compared to state-wide metrics.

Academically, Ajo Elementary School is ranked 1163 out of 1245 Arizona elementary schools and has a 0 out of 5 star rating, while Ajo High School is ranked 219 out of 469 Arizona high schools and has a 3 out of 5 star rating. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Demographic factors may be contributing to the schools' challenges, as they have high percentages of Hispanic and Native American students, as well as high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending, the schools are still struggling academically, suggesting that resource allocation and utilization within the district may need to be addressed. Additionally, Ajo High School has a relatively low four-year graduation rate and a high dropout rate, which are areas of concern that require further investigation.
