In the 2022-23 school year, 52% of Prescott Unified District students failed their AASA/ACT Language Arts test, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

The 1,845 students who took the AASA/ACT test were assessed at four proficiency levels in each subject. Those at levels one and two failed the test, while students who reached the third and fourth proficiency levels passed the test.

In 2022 Arizona had roughly one teacher for every 19 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for 16 students. Teachers handling a higher number of students was found to have negative consequences for students’ school performance.
