Original Research by School Decision on Mary E Post Elementary School
Mary E. Post Elementary School is listed as inactive and there is virtually no current data available for it. The school served Yuma, Arizona, and was part of the Yuma Elementary District. That district covers the elementary grades for a city that is a mix of residential, commercial, military, and agricultural activity. Yuma itself is the county seat, with agriculture as the largest segment of its economy, along with the Marine Corps Air Station and Yuma Proving Ground, plus tourism. A historic downtown anchors the city's civic life, but the overall built environment is sprawling and car-dependent. The city's population has grown modestly, and a notable seasonal population of winter visitors lives there for part of the year.
Because this school is inactive, no recent enrollment, demographics, state testing results, or any other operational data were reported. The school was a regular public school, and there was no information on whether it ever received Title I funding or had a magnet designation. There are no program offerings, no graduation rate (the school does not serve high school grades, so this metric does not apply), and no staffing or discipline data to review.
The comparison fact-set that would position this school among districts in Yuma County was not usable because the key metrics—overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades, the four-year graduation rate, and chronic absenteeism—were all marked as not applicable due to the entity value being missing. There is simply nothing to compare.
What a parent or resident can take from this is limited. The school is not currently operating, so there is no academic pathway, peer environment, or student support system to evaluate. The Yuma Elementary District, which this school belonged to, appears to have had no recent publicly reported changes or strategic initiatives that would give context to the school's status. Any expectation of current performance or culture at this specific site is unsupported by the available evidence. If you are looking at this school as a past reference point for a specific address or as a closed facility, the data confirms it is inactive. For any understanding of what the district currently offers, you would need to look at active schools within the Yuma Elementary District.
