Summary:
The Cedar Unified District in Arizona has only one elementary school, Jeddito School, which serves a 100% Native American student population. This school faces significant challenges, including alarmingly low academic performance, a high dropout rate, and a student population that is highly economically disadvantaged.
Jeddito School's standardized test scores are well below the state averages in all subjects and grade levels reported, with proficiency rates as low as 5% in science and 8% in English Language Arts. The school also has a dropout rate of 5.6%, which is concerning. Additionally, over 101% of Jeddito School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the small student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, Jeddito School appears to be severely underfunded, with $0 reported in spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year. This lack of resources likely contributes to the school's poor academic performance and the challenges it faces in serving its highly disadvantaged student population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, well-funded approach to support the educational and personal needs of the students at Jeddito School.
