San Carlos High School

Summary:

San Carlos High School is a public high school located in Peridot, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 393, and is part of the San Carlos Unified District, which is ranked 538 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

San Carlos High School stands out for its unique student population, with 100% of the students identifying as Native American, a significant difference compared to the nearby Liberty High School and Globe High School, which have more diverse racial makeups. However, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Arizona, with only 3-6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2-4% proficient or better in Science and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuating graduation rates, ranging from 87.5% to 96.2%, and high dropout rates, ranging from 2.4% to 16.6%, which are significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools.

The high percentage of students (87.79%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at San Carlos High School indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic and other performance issues. These challenges highlight the need for targeted support and resources to improve outcomes for the students at San Carlos High School, which is underperforming compared to the nearby Globe Unified District schools.

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.
