Summary:
The Grand Canyon Unified District in Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Grand Canyon Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite its location in the iconic Grand Canyon region, the school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance rankings and proficiency rates that fall below state and district averages.
Grand Canyon Elementary serves a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 34.71% White, 35.88% Hispanic, and 24.71% Native American. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 59.41% of the student body eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 10.2, the per-student spending of $11,095 has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
Overall, the data suggests that Grand Canyon Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the school's academic performance issues and ensure that all students have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
