Summary:
The Elfrida Elementary District in Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Elfrida Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's small size, with just 106 students enrolled, is a notable characteristic, as is its predominantly Hispanic student population (65.09%) and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (74.53% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).
Academically, Elfrida Elementary School faces significant challenges, with student performance on state assessments consistently falling well below the Arizona state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 5th grade science, only 17% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34%. The school's performance has also declined over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 1-star rating in the most recent school year.
Despite the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, and higher per-student spending of $14,920 (above the state average), these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students at Elfrida Elementary School. The data suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and addressing the underlying factors contributing to its declining academic performance.
