Summary:
The Bullhead City School District in Arizona is home to three elementary schools: Desert Valley School, Sunrise Elementary, and Diamondback Elementary School. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 6th grade and are located in the Bullhead City area.
Among the three schools, Diamondback Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked, ranking 591 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. It also has the highest percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts for 4th grade, at 47%, compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Diamondback Elementary School has a relatively lower free and reduced lunch rate at 65.73%, compared to the other two schools.
While the overall academic performance of the schools is generally below the district and state averages, there are some notable differences. Desert Valley School has the highest free and reduced lunch rate at 90%, indicating a higher percentage of students from low-income families, which may impact their academic achievement. The variation in spending per student across the schools also raises questions about the equity of resource distribution within the district and its potential impact on student outcomes.
