Summary:
The 85273 zip code is home to a single elementary school, John F Kennedy School, which serves grades PK-6 with 179 students. The school is part of the Superior Unified School District, which is ranked 439 out of 540 school districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
John F Kennedy School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The school's test scores are significantly below state averages, with 5th grade science proficiency at just 10% compared to 34% statewide. Similarly, 3rd-6th grade ELA proficiency ranges from 6% to 33%, and 3rd-5th grade math proficiency ranges from 10% to 36%, all well below the state averages. This low academic performance is likely exacerbated by the school's high poverty levels, with 93.3% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's struggles are further compounded by the underfunding of the Superior Unified School District, which spends only $7,017 per student, below the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.6, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Given these challenges, the school may benefit from targeted interventions, additional resources, and specialized support to help improve educational outcomes for its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
