Mohave High School

Summary:

Mohave High School is a public high school located in Bullhead City, Arizona, serving 1,175 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Colorado River Union High School District, which is ranked 267 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mohave High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 12%, compared to the state's 30%. The school has also had relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 88.6% to 93.6% over the past few years, but the dropout rate has also been higher than the state average, ranging from 1.4% to 3.6% in recent years. Mohave High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Pacific Islander students performing very well, while Hispanic and White students have struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as River Valley High School and Mohave Accelerated Learning Center, Mohave High School's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings from SchoolDigger. The school's location in a relatively low-income area, the district's overall low ranking, and the high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by Mohave High School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
