Summary:
The Mesa Unified District in Arizona is home to 7 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools, such as Red Mountain High School and Mountain View High School, and the lower-performing schools, including Westwood High School, Mesa High School, Dobson High School, and Skyline High School.
Red Mountain High School and Mountain View High School stand out as the top-performing schools, with 4-year graduation rates of 91.8% and 88.0%, respectively, and significantly higher 11th-grade test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. These schools also have the lowest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.
In contrast, East Valley Academy emerges as an outlier, with a concerning 4-year graduation rate of only 24.6% and a dropout rate of 26.7%, significantly higher than the district averages. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities in educational outcomes across the high schools within the Mesa Unified District.
