Maricopa Unified


Summary:

The Maricopa Unified school district in California serves students from elementary through high school, but the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance across all three schools - Maricopa Elementary, Maricopa High, and Maricopa Middle. None of the schools stand out as clear academic leaders, with consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low statewide rankings.

The data reveals that all three schools struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the state average. For example, Maricopa Elementary's 5th grade ELA proficiency was just 33.33% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 47.37%. Similarly, Maricopa High's 11th grade Math proficiency was only 15%, well below the state average of 27.9%. Chronic absenteeism rates are also very high across the district, ranging from 32.6% at Maricopa High to 38.6% at Maricopa Middle.

The data also indicates that the student populations in Maricopa Unified face significant economic challenges, with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 96.1% to 98.09% across the three schools. This suggests that addressing the systemic issues within the district will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students, including addressing factors related to student poverty, attendance, and resource allocation.
