Summary:
Desert Star Academy is the sole elementary school located in Fort Mohave, Arizona, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 480 students. As a public charter school, Desert Star Academy appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the state, outpacing the Arizona average in several key academic areas.
The school's 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 56% in 2023-2024 exceeds the state average of 46%, and it has consistently ranked in the top half of Arizona elementary schools in recent years, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the student population is predominantly White (72.29%), the school also has a notable Hispanic student population (22.71%), which is higher than the state average.
However, the school's 7.6% dropout rate in 2021-2022 is somewhat concerning and may be an area for improvement. Additionally, the absence of student-teacher ratio data in the provided information makes it difficult to fully assess the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students. Overall, Desert Star Academy appears to be a strong-performing elementary school, but further investigation into its dropout rate and student-teacher ratio could provide a more comprehensive understanding of its performance and areas for improvement.
