Summary:
The Hayden-Winkelman Unified District has only one elementary school, Leonor Hambly K-8, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.
Leonor Hambly K-8 struggles with low student proficiency rates, with only 4% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly below the state averages. The school serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (88.24%) from low-income households, with 82.81% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,771, the school has been unable to effectively translate these resources into improved academic outcomes for its students.
The data analysis suggests that Leonor Hambly K-8 faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The consistently low performance, large achievement gaps, and socioeconomic factors indicate the need for a comprehensive school improvement plan and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and support student success. Without significant changes, the school is likely to continue struggling to meet the educational needs of the Hayden-Winkelman Unified District community.
