Valley Union High School District (4190)

Located at 4088 W Jefferson Rd in Elfrida, Arizona, Valley Union High School District (4190) provides dedicated secondary education within a remote rural setting in the Sierra Vista-Douglas region. Operating as an open, traditional public school district, it focuses exclusively on high school education across grades 9 through 12 via its single operational campus. The district serves a focused student body of 71 high schoolers—comprising 16 ninth graders, 21 tenth graders, 20 eleventh graders, and 14 seniors—complemented by 43 male and 28 female students. The student population reflects a close-knit community primarily composed of White (37) and Hispanic (32) students, along with American Indian and multiracial representation, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

A defining feature of the district is its exceptionally low student-to-staff ratio, designed to offer intensive, individualized instruction and comprehensive student support. Supported by a total workforce of 53 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, the district employs 18.5 FTE teachers alongside 2 instructional aides and 32.5 support staff personnel. This robust staffing model allows educators to closely mentor each student through their academic, vocational, and personal goals as they prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
