Summary:
The Tempe Union High School District in Arizona consists of 7 high schools serving grades 9-12. The district is known for its diverse student population and varying academic performance across its schools.
The top-performing schools in the district are Desert Vista High School and Corona Del Sol High School, which consistently rank among the best high schools in Arizona. These schools boast high graduation rates, strong academic proficiency, and a track record of excellence. In contrast, Tempe High School and Marcos De Niza High School have lower statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic performance compared to the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant variations in student demographics, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios across the district's schools. While the reasons for these differences are complex, the analysis suggests that factors beyond just funding and demographics, such as school culture and leadership, may play a crucial role in shaping student outcomes. The district's virtual high school, TAPBI, also shows mixed performance, with lower graduation rates but relatively strong academic performance compared to some of the traditional high schools.
