Summary:
The Littlefield Unified District in Arizona is home to a single high school, Beaver Dam High School, which serves grades 7-12 and has a student population of 152. The school's demographics are predominantly Hispanic (65.13%), with smaller percentages of White (31.58%), African American (1.97%), and two or more races (1.32%) students.
Academically, Beaver Dam High School has struggled, with proficiency rates on state assessments consistently below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate of 75.0% is also below the state average, and its dropout rate of 9.8% is higher than the state average. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (69.08%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, and its relatively low per-student spending of $3,557, which is lower than the state average.
Despite these challenges, Beaver Dam High School has shown some signs of improvement, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 194th out of 469 Arizona high schools in 2022-2023 (3 out of 5 stars) and 341st out of 509 in 2020-2021 (2 out of 5 stars). However, the school's ongoing academic struggles and resource constraints suggest that the Littlefield Unified District and the school's leadership will need to prioritize addressing these challenges to improve student outcomes.
