Summary:
The city of Yucca, Arizona is home to a single school, Yucca Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 38 students. The school is part of the Yucca Elementary District. While Yucca Elementary School's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the school faces challenges such as a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a concerning $0 per student spending figure for the 2018-2019 school year.
Yucca Elementary School's student population is predominantly white (71.05%), with smaller percentages of African American (5.26%), Hispanic (21.05%), and two or more races (2.63%) students. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate is on par with the district average but slightly below the state average. In English Language Arts, the school's 7th and 8th-grade proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state average, while in Mathematics, the 4th, 5th, and 8th-grade proficiency rates are higher than the state average, but the 6th-grade rate is lower.
With a student-teacher ratio of 19:1, Yucca Elementary School is a small school, which may present challenges in terms of staffing, program offerings, and extracurricular activities. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (73.68%) suggests a relatively low-income student population, which could impact the school's resources and academic performance. Overall, while Yucca Elementary School has some areas of strength, the data indicates that the school faces significant challenges that may require further investigation and support to address.
