Who runs it?

  • Run by Mesa Unified District (4235), its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
  • District spending, fiscal year 2024: Mesa Unified District (4235) spent $12,066 per student, by the Census Bureau’s count of the district’s spending and its 57,204 students, of which $6,306 went on instruction and $5,156 on support services such as administration, buildings and transport.
  • That is the district’s figure across all its schools, not this school’s own: its day-to-day spending on salaries, benefits, services and supplies, not on construction, equipment, debt or payments to other school systems.

Has anything been proven against it?

  • Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
  • To protect students’ privacy, ED adds or takes away one at random from chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
  • ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
