Rating 3.97 out of 5 38 reviews
The Amphi Unified School District is located in Oro Valley, Arizona and serves approximately 10,000 students across 12 schools. The district has a diverse student body, with approximately 30% of students identifying as Hispanic, 25% as White, 20% as African American, and 15% as Asian. The district has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with approximately 40% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Academic achievement in the Amphi Unified School District is generally strong, with high graduation rates and strong college acceptance rates. However, there are some achievement gaps that exist between different student groups. In particular, African American and Hispanic students tend to perform lower on standardized tests than their White and Asian peers. The district has recognized this issue and has implemented several programs and initiatives aimed at closing these gaps.
It is my first year here at Canyon Del Oro and I absolutely love it. All of the teachers are so well educated about their subjects and teach so well. The other students are also diverse and creative and make you feel extremely welcome. Although I do wish that advisory would get taken out of the schedule as it adds extra time in school when we could be doing other things that interest us, like extracurriculars. I also wish the busses were more organized as all of them are late almost every day by around 15 minutes.
I attended Amphitheater School District from elementary to high school. I like the diversity of the school and the staffing has improved throughout the years. The new incoming teachers who once attended Amphi High school now teach for Amphi Highschool and the teachers genuinely care for students. The staffing is improving and the community cares for the Amphitheater district. Former students, including myself, would like to see this district keep succeeding for our community.
