Litchfield Elementary District

Summary:

The Litchfield Elementary District in Arizona consists of 16 schools, including 12 elementary schools and 4 middle schools, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 110 out of 288 in Arizona and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Verrado Heritage Elementary School and Belen Soto Elementary School are both ranked among the top 250 elementary schools in Arizona, with high test scores, low dropout rates, and relatively low free/reduced lunch rates. Meanwhile, Western Sky Middle School stands out as a top-performing middle school in the district, with solid performance on middle school assessments.

On the other hand, White Tanks Learning Center appears to be struggling, with the lowest statewide ranking, a high dropout rate, and the highest free/reduced lunch rate in the district. This suggests the school may face challenges in providing a quality education and support for its students. Overall, the Litchfield Elementary District has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, and addressing the needs of the lower-performing schools will be crucial for improving the district's overall academic performance.
