Antelope Union High School

Summary:

Antelope Union High School is a small public high school in Wellton, Arizona, serving 199 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (74.37%), with smaller percentages of White (23.62%), African American, Asian, and multi-racial students.

Despite its small size, Antelope Union High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, with a ranking of 459 out of 469 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the state average across various subjects, including science, English language arts, and mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 95.3% in 2017-2018 to a low of 81.4% in 2021-2022, and the dropout rate has also varied, with a high of 6.1% in 2021-2022.

Antelope Union High School's performance across different student subgroups is mixed, with female students generally performing better than male students. Hispanic and White students have lower rankings compared to the state, indicating achievement gaps. However, special education students have a relatively higher ranking, suggesting the school may be providing better support for this population. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's per-student spending of $18,017 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, it is unclear if this additional funding has translated into improved academic outcomes.

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.
