Summary:
The Douglas Unified District in Arizona operates 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces academic performance challenges, with most schools lagging behind state averages in test scores. However, a few standout schools, such as Stevenson Elementary School and Clawson School, demonstrate stronger academic achievement.
While the district as a whole struggles academically, Douglas High School stands out for its relatively high 80.8% four-year graduation rate, which is better than the district average. The schools in the district also have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.62% to 92.51%, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population.
The data suggests that the district may benefit from identifying and replicating the effective practices used by the standout schools, such as Stevenson Elementary School and Clawson School, to drive academic improvement across the district. Additionally, the district may need to evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equitable funding and support for all schools, particularly those serving students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
