YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL
Young High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Young Elementary District (4213) school district, located in Young, AZ with about 13 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, Young High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Young High School is a small, rural public school located in the unincorporated community of Young, Arizona. Situated in a remote area of Gila County, the school serves as a central educational hub for the local ranching and rural community. Because of its isolated geography, the school is characterized by a close-knit environment where small class sizes allow for individualized attention and a strong sense of community between students, faculty, and local families.
As part of the Young Elementary School District, the high school focuses on providing a fundamental academic curriculum tailored to a very small student population. The school plays a vital role in the social fabric of the Baker Ranch Road area, often serving as a focal point for local events and community engagement. While it operates with limited resources compared to larger urban districts, Young High School is essential for providing accessible secondary education to students in this rugged, mountainous region of Arizona.
