Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85348

Summary:

The 85348 zip code in Arizona is home to two underperforming schools: Salome High School and Salome Elementary School. Both schools serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the academic performance at these schools remains consistently low, with proficiency rates well below state averages in science, English language arts, and math.

While Salome High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.1%, which is better than the state average, Salome Elementary School has a concerning 3.3% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. The student-teacher ratios at both schools are also concerning, with Salome High School having a lower ratio than the state average and Salome Elementary School having a slightly higher ratio.

The combination of low academic performance, high economic disadvantage, and relatively high per-student spending suggests that these schools may require more targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of their student populations. The schools are located within the Bicentennial Union High School District and the Salome Consolidated Elementary District, which may need to reevaluate their strategies to better support these underperforming schools and their communities.
