What stands out at Cedar Hills School

Cedar Hills School is a higher-need, small combined-grade school in Kingman, Arizona, enrolling 40 students.

Class loads run heavy: 40:1 is larger than about 99% of Arizona schools and 135% above the 17:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 62.1% of students eligible for free meals.

Enrollment of 40 puts it in the smaller third of Arizona schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 2,064 Arizona schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 18 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Arizona schools statewide, it ranks #18, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is led by White (75%) and Hispanic or Latino (25%) (diversity index 38/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 75.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

The surrounding Hackberry School District (4371) spends $26,630 per pupil, 103% above the Arizona average, a better-resourced district than most.

Its district draws 23.4% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Hackberry School District (4371) operates only this one school, so Cedar Hills School has no district-mates to compare against locally. At 40 students, it is also a small operation, on the smaller end of Arizona's single-school districts.
