Summary:

The city of Congress, Arizona is home to a single school, Congress Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 102 students. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science, as well as its high level of funding and diverse student population.

Congress Elementary School excels in science, with 67% of 5th graders and 46% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the AzSCI exam, significantly higher than the statewide averages of 34% and 27%, respectively. The school's high per-student spending of $20,322, well above the state average, may contribute to this academic success.

While Congress Elementary School's science performance is impressive, its English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 and the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (74.51%) suggest that the school is serving a predominantly low-income community, which may impact educational outcomes and resource needs. Overall, Congress Elementary School appears to be a standout performer in science education, with strong funding and a diverse student population, but there is room for improvement in other academic areas.
