Summary:
The Bicentennial Union High School District in Arizona is home to a single high school, Salome High School, which serves grades 9-12. While Salome High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 93.1%, its academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with only 14% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and just 8% proficient in Science.
The student population at Salome High School is predominantly Hispanic (75.4%), and the school serves a low-income community, with 80.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $15,723, the academic challenges faced by Salome High School suggest that the resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention, but this has not yet resulted in significant academic gains.
While Salome High School's high graduation rate and low dropout rate of 1.3% are positive indicators, the school's academic underperformance in core subject areas is a significant concern. The school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and improve student learning and achievement.
