Yavapai County High School

Summary:

Yavapai County High School is a small public high school in Prescott Valley, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with just 27 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9-12.8 students per teacher suggests a personalized learning environment, the data reveals significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and overall school quality.

Yavapai County High School has struggled academically, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like math, science, and English language arts compared to state and district averages. For example, only 20% of 11th-grade students were proficient in math, far below the state average of 32%. The school's four-year graduation rates have also been consistently low, ranging from 14.2% to 25% over the past several years, while dropout rates have reached as high as 28.4%. When compared to nearby schools like Tri-City College Prep, Yavapai County High School significantly underperforms, with higher academic proficiency, graduation rates, and statewide rankings.

The school's performance has declined over the years, dropping in statewide rankings from 199 out of 471 high schools in 2011-2012 to 175 out of 469 high schools in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in providing a quality education to its predominantly white student population, which is higher than the nearby schools. The variability in the school's spending per student, ranging from $8,619 in 2019-2020 to $24,867 in 2021-2022, may also contribute to the academic struggles. While the school's performance for specific subgroups, such as special education students, shows some potential strengths, the overall data indicates the need for significant improvements to better serve the students of Yavapai County High School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
