District-Level NCES Analysis

Yuma Union High School District (4507) operates 7 public schools serving 11,380 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Arizona. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 10,609 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Yuma County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,585 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 24.2% local, 56.1% state, and 19.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $48,518 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 41/100, ranked #184 of 439 in Arizona against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 5 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (64 AP courses district-wide), a 303.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 95.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.8% Hispanic or Latino, 12.0% White, 0.8% African American across the district's schools.

San Luis High School accounts for 25.3% of all Yuma Union High School District (4507) student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Yuma Union High School District (4507)-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Yuma Union High School District (4507) has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 59.4% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Yuma Union High School District (4507) chronic absenteeism rate is 95.7% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
