Middle Schools in Sahuarita Unified District

The Sahuarita Unified District in Arizona has only one middle school, Sahuarita Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 29% to 48% in English Language Arts and 21% to 41% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school's dropout rate of 4.9% is a concern.

Sahuarita Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 269th out of 605 Arizona middle schools in 2021-2022 to 283rd out of 533 in 2023-2024. The school's rating by SchoolDigger has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 during this period, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other middle schools in the state. The school's spending per student of $5,799 is below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 19:1 is within the typical range for middle schools.

Overall, the data analysis suggests that Sahuarita Middle School is not a standout performer in the Sahuarita Unified District or the state of Arizona. The school's declining performance, below-average academic proficiency rates, and relatively high dropout rate indicate that it may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. The district and school leadership should closely examine these issues and develop targeted interventions to address the identified areas of concern.
