The free-lunch share is 24% above the Arizona average and 15% above the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 70.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Humboldt Unified District (4469) spends $10,063 per pupil district-wide, below the Arizona average of $15,070 and below the national average of $19,490.
