Poston Junior High School

Summary:

Poston Junior High School is a public middle school in Mesa, Arizona, serving 869 students in grades 7-9. The school is part of the Mesa Unified District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Poston Junior High School faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31% of 7th graders and 22% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the district's 36% and 29%, and the state's 41% and 35%, respectively. The school also struggles with the academic performance of several student subgroups, particularly Hispanic, African American, and low socioeconomic status students, who consistently rank in the bottom quartile of Arizona middle schools. Additionally, Poston Junior High School has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.2% to 3.6% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Fremont Junior High, Franklin Junior High, and Stapley Junior High, generally outperform Poston Junior High School in academic proficiency, subgroup performance, and overall school rankings, suggesting that the challenges faced by Poston Junior High may be unique to the school or the specific student population it serves. The school's high percentage of students (58.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low socioeconomic status, may also contribute to its academic challenges and require targeted interventions and support.

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.
