Skyline Gila River Schools LLC

Skyline Gila River Schools LLC is a school district in Arizona that operates a single public charter high school, Skyline D5, serving grades 5-12. With a student population of 236, the school has a predominantly Native American student body (93.22%) and faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 20% of Arizona high schools.

Skyline D5 has a concerning 50% four-year graduation rate, well below the statewide average. Its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is also very low compared to the state, with most subject areas seeing proficiency rates less than half the statewide averages. For example, only 7% of students are proficient in 11th grade English Language Arts, compared to 40% statewide.

The high-poverty nature of the school, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the academic struggles. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing effective strategies to improve student outcomes should be a top priority for the Skyline Gila River Schools LLC district leadership.
