Summary:
The city of Dewey, Arizona is home to two schools: Humboldt Elementary School and Bradshaw Mountain Middle School, both part of the Humboldt Unified District. While Humboldt Elementary generally performs above state and district averages on English Language Arts tests, it lags behind on Mathematics. In contrast, Bradshaw Mountain Middle School significantly underperforms the state and district on both subject areas.
Humboldt Elementary has a relatively low spending per student at $9,940, compared to $10,486 at Bradshaw Mountain Middle. However, the middle school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 23.9, versus 18.6 at the elementary level. This disparity in resources may be a contributing factor to the performance gap between the two schools. Additionally, Bradshaw Mountain Middle has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 54.64%, suggesting potential equity concerns in resource allocation.
Overall, the data highlights the need to investigate the factors driving the significant performance differences between Humboldt Elementary and Bradshaw Mountain Middle School, particularly in the area of Mathematics. Addressing the resource and equity disparities could be a starting point to improve outcomes for all students in the Dewey school system.
