Summary:
The Union Elementary District in Arizona has only one middle school, Hurley Ranch Elementary, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Hurley Ranch Elementary appears to be an underperforming school within the district and the state of Arizona, consistently ranking in the bottom half of middle schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hurley Ranch Elementary has a relatively large student population of 663 students, with a predominantly Hispanic (66.67%) and significant African American (21.57%) and White (6.49%) representation. However, the school's academic performance is well below state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 9% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 27%. The school also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 5.4%.
The data suggests that Hurley Ranch Elementary faces significant challenges, including high poverty levels (61.84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and potential equity concerns based on the racial makeup of the student population. The school's consistent underperformance and the gaps in academic achievement indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve the quality of education provided to students in the Union Elementary District.
