Salome High School

Summary:

Salome High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Salome, Arizona, with a student population of 126 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Bicentennial Union High School District, which is ranked 419 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Salome High School consistently performs below the state average on standardized tests, with only 14% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40% and 32%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rate of 8% for 11th-grade students is also significantly lower than the state average of 22%. Additionally, the school's graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 81.2% in 2020-2021 to 93.1% in 2021-2022, and its dropout rates have varied from 0.7% in 2017-2018 to 3.3% in 2018-2019.

Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, which has increased from $12,477 in 2018-2019 to $15,723 in 2019-2020, the consistently low academic performance suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to address these persistent challenges and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
