Summary:
The Sunnyside Unified District in Arizona is home to three high schools: Sunnyside High School, Desert View High School, and STAR Academic High School. While Sunnyside High School and Desert View High School have similar statewide rankings, STAR Academic High School stands out as the lowest-performing school, with a statewide ranking of 447 out of 469 Arizona high schools and a concerning four-year graduation rate of just 34.9%.
Sunnyside High School and Desert View High School have four-year graduation rates of 79.6% and 85.3%, respectively, indicating that they are performing better than STAR Academic High School. However, all three schools struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with STAR Academic High School having the lowest scores across the board.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.93% to 73.93%, suggests that the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. While the spending per student is relatively consistent across the three schools, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for STAR Academic High School, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these schools.
