Coolidge High School

Summary:

Coolidge High School is a public high school in Coolidge, Arizona, serving around 640 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Coolidge Unified District, which is ranked 284 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coolidge High School consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in academic assessments, with only 16% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in AASA/English Language Arts and 9% proficient or better in AASA/Mathematics, far below the state averages. The school also has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 90.5%, but a higher dropout rate, ranging from 3.0% to 7.3%, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of Arizona high schools for African American and multi-racial students.

Coolidge High School's performance is generally lower than nearby schools, such as San Tan Foothills High School and Florence High School, which are part of the Florence Unified School District and have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and overall SchoolDigger rankings. Additionally, Coolidge High School's sister school, the Coolidge Alternative Program, has even lower academic performance and a much lower four-year graduation rate of 45.0%, suggesting that the Coolidge Unified District as a whole is struggling to provide quality education to its students.

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.
