Summary:
Morenci Unified District has only one high school, Morenci High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (66.57%) and significant representation of White (22.84%) and Native American (8.08%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, is generally lower than the state average.
Despite these academic challenges, Morenci High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.8% for the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 4.1%, which is slightly higher than the state average. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also fluctuated in recent years, indicating inconsistent performance or the influence of various factors.
The high percentage of students (28.69%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. Addressing the needs of these students, such as providing additional academic and social-emotional support, could be an important focus for the Morenci Unified District and the school's administrators to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all students.
