Summary:
The Globe Unified District has only one elementary school, Copper Rim Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's student population is diverse, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and Native American students. However, Copper Rim Elementary has consistently struggled with low academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.
Copper Rim Elementary's academic challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students (55.82%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's per-student spending of $7,011 and a student-teacher ratio of 20.1 are both slightly below the state averages, which may be contributing to the school's inability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students.
Despite the school's efforts, its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 848 out of 1,000 schools in 2021-2022 to 1,057 out of 1,245 schools in 2022-2023. Addressing these persistent academic and socioeconomic challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach, including a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and community engagement strategies.
