Sun Valley Academy - South Mountain Inc.

Sun Valley Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Sun Valley Academy - South Mountain Inc. district. With a total enrollment of 575 students, the school's academic performance is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 27% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 46%. The school's dropout rate of 3.8% is also higher than the state average, and its spending of $10,310 per student does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.

While the data does not provide the specific student-teacher ratio, the school's demographic composition is predominantly Hispanic (53.39%) and African American (31.48%), which may indicate that it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged community. However, it is important to note that the school's racial makeup is not directly correlated with its academic performance, and further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges.

Overall, the data suggests that Sun Valley Academy is struggling to effectively educate its students and prepare them for academic success. The school's consistently low performance, high dropout rate, and high spending per student raise concerns and indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
