Summary:
The Florence Unified School District in Arizona operates 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 3 alternative schools, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade.
The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools within the district. Anthem Elementary School stands out with some of the highest test scores, with 37-42% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 28-38% proficient in Math. In contrast, Magma Ranch K8 School struggles, with proficiency rates often below 20%. The district's alternative schools, such as Mountain Vista Academy, also face challenges, with lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to the traditional high schools.
Across the district, there are significant disparities in academic outcomes, graduation rates, and other key metrics. While the school with the highest per-student spending, Mountain Vista Academy, has poor academic outcomes, the data does not show a clear correlation between funding levels and student performance. Other factors, such as school leadership, curriculum, and student demographics, likely play a significant role in the observed performance gaps between schools.
