Summary:

Superior Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in the small town of Superior, Arizona, with a student population of 156 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly Hispanic (80.13%), with smaller percentages of White (17.31%) and African American (1.92%) students.

Despite its small size, Superior Junior/Senior High School has faced significant academic challenges in recent years. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 5-15% of students proficient or better in subjects like English Language Arts and Science. This performance is also significantly lower than the nearby Ray Junior/Senior High School and Miami Junior Senior High School. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 77.7% to 96.6%, with the most recent rate at 85.7% in 2021-2022, which is lower than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has been relatively high, ranging from 2.4% to 11.1% in recent years.

One factor that may be contributing to the school's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low-income families, with 25.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is lower than the nearby Ray Unified District and Miami Unified District, where the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is around 48%. The school's overall performance has also been reflected in its low rankings, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom half of Arizona high schools and receiving 1 or 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

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.
