Blue Ridge Unified School District No. 32

The Blue Ridge Unified School District No. 32 in Arizona is home to three schools: Blue Ridge Elementary School, Blue Ridge High School, and Blue Ridge Junior High School. These schools serve a diverse student population with varying levels of academic performance and funding.

Blue Ridge Junior High School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest spending per student, but its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages. In contrast, Blue Ridge High School has the highest graduation rate and a relatively low dropout rate, with test scores close to or above the district and state averages.

The schools in the district face some challenges, such as declining SchoolDigger ratings and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the data also highlights areas of opportunity, where the schools can focus their efforts to improve student outcomes, such as raising test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science. By closely examining the key metrics and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each school, district leaders can make informed decisions to support student success across the entire district.
