Summary:
The 85610 zip code area is home to two schools - Elfrida Elementary School and Valley Union High School. Both schools are underperforming academically, with very low proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels compared to state averages. The student populations at these schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Elfrida Elementary School has a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (65.09%) and White (32.08%), and 74.53% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Valley Union High School has a more diverse student population, with 69.81% White, 23.58% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, but still has a significant percentage (49.06%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools, they are still struggling to improve academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be at play. Overall, the data does not reveal any clear standout schools in the 85610 zip code area, indicating a need for comprehensive educational interventions and support to improve the overall quality of schooling in this community.
