Summary:
The Parker Unified School District in Arizona operates two high schools: Parker High School and Parker Alternative School. While Parker High School serves a diverse student population, both schools face significant challenges in academic performance and graduation rates.
Parker High School has proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are well below the state averages, and its four-year graduation rate of 84.8% is lower than the state average. In contrast, Parker Alternative School has an even lower four-year graduation rate of 47.8% and a high dropout rate of 19.4%, suggesting it is struggling academically.
The financial resources available to the two schools also differ significantly, with Parker High School spending $12,919 per student, while Parker Alternative School spends only $4,596 per student. These disparities in academic performance and financial resources raise concerns about equity and the district's ability to provide equal educational opportunities to all students.
