Original Research by School Decision on Pcjted - Sahuaro High School
This is a career and technical school serving high school grades, but it is a placement within a larger program rather than a comprehensive high school. Its enrollment is extremely small, with a single student reported. The grade-level breakdown shows that student is in ninth grade. Because the entity is a career and technical school functioning as a program site, the standard measures of school performance do not apply in the usual way. There are no state assessment results, no graduation rate, and no chronic absenteeism data available for this site. The entity is too small and too specialized for those metrics to be meaningfully reported. A parent evaluating this program should understand that it sits within the Pima County Joint Technological Education District, which operates career and technical education courses across multiple high school campuses in the county. This particular site is physically located at Sahuaro High School in Tucson but is not Sahuaro High School itself. The student body is reported as one Hispanic student. Information on economic disadvantage, special education status, and English learner status is not available in the data provided, so a parent would need to ask the district directly about the support services available at this placement. Because the enrollment is a single student, there is no meaningful way to discuss peer environment, student composition, or program breadth. There are no data on course access, staffing, or discipline. The housing context for the surrounding zip code shows home values near the lower end compared to the state median, with rents rising modestly over the past year. The broader Tucson area is a large desert city anchored by the University of Arizona and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, with a sprawling suburban footprint and an automobile-dependent character outside the downtown core. A parent considering this career and technical program should contact the Pima County JTED directly to understand what this specific placement offers, how it connects to the larger JTED system, and what the student experience looks like at a school with such a small reported enrollment. The lack of academic performance data is expected for a career and technical school, but the absence of any program offerings or even a description of the career pathway in the available records means the reader must go to the source to learn what a student would actually study here.
