Summary:
The Safford Unified District in Arizona consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district's academic performance is mixed, with some standout elementary schools but challenges at the middle and high school levels.
Dorothy Stinson School and Lafe Nelson School are the district's top-performing elementary schools, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Mt Graham High School, the district's smallest school with just 58 students, struggles with low proficiency rates and a high dropout rate, despite high per-student spending.
The district as a whole is ranked 188 out of 288 districts in Arizona and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, reflecting the mixed performance across the schools. Addressing the academic achievement gaps, particularly in mathematics, and providing additional support for smaller, more challenged schools like Mt Graham High will be important focus areas for the Safford Unified District.
