Miami Junior Senior High School

Summary:

Miami Junior Senior High School is a public high school located in Miami, Arizona, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 495 students. The school is part of the Miami Unified District, which is ranked 513 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miami Junior Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, with academic performance significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 11% of 11th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 71.2% to 94.4%, with the most recent rate being 87.5% in 2021-2022. The school's dropout rate has also varied, ranging from 2.0% to 3.8% in the past five years, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Superior Junior/Senior High School and Globe High School, Miami Junior Senior High School generally underperforms. These nearby schools also perform below the state average on academic measures, but they outperform Miami Junior Senior High School. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's location in a relatively small, rural community may contribute to the school's academic challenges, suggesting that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student 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.
