Red Mesa Junior High School

Summary:

Red Mesa Junior High School is a small public middle school in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of just 79. The school is part of the Red Mesa Unified District, which is ranked 511 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Red Mesa Junior High School is performing significantly below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 4% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 27%. The school's performance is also below the district average, indicating systemic challenges within the Red Mesa Unified District. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 3.3% in 2021-2022 to 7.6% in 2016-2017, which are significantly higher than the state average for middle schools.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student expenditure of $27,734 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average for middle schools, the additional funding has not translated into improved educational outcomes for the students. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement. The school's location in a remote, rural area and its association with the low-performing Red Mesa Unified District likely contribute to the challenges it faces, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
