Summary:
The Mary C O'Brien Accommodation District contains 2 schools, including 1 elementary school and 1 high school. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the standout Mary C O'Brien Elementary School and the underperforming Villa Oasis Interscholastic Center For Education (VOICE).
Mary C O'Brien Elementary School is a top-performing school, consistently ranking among the best in Arizona and earning a 5-star rating. Its students significantly outperform state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Villa Oasis VOICE struggles, with very low test scores, poor graduation rates, and high dropout rates, despite spending per student that is close to the state average.
The data highlights the importance of analyzing school performance at the individual level, rather than relying solely on district-level averages. While the funding and resources appear relatively equitable, factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the vastly different outcomes between the two schools. These findings can inform decision-making and resource allocation to support student success across the district.
