Red Mesa Unified District

The Red Mesa Unified District in Arizona operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly Native American student population. The data reveals significant educational disparities, with the district's schools consistently underperforming state averages on academic measures and struggling with low graduation rates and high dropout rates.

Among the standout schools, Round Rock Elementary School stands out for having the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics within the district, though it is still ranked very low among Arizona elementary schools. In contrast, Red Valley/Cove High School has the lowest enrollment, the lowest graduation rate, and the highest dropout rate, despite spending the most per student in the district.

Across the district, the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with proficiency rates well below state averages, and high poverty levels, with the majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These challenges, coupled with the district's small enrollment and high dropout rates, suggest that the schools in the Red Mesa Unified District are struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for their students, and may require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of these disparities.
