Summary:
The McNeal Elementary District in Arizona consists of a single public elementary school, Mcneal Elementary School, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of just 44 students. The school's student population is predominantly white (70.45%), with a significant percentage of Hispanic (20.45%) and smaller populations of Native American (6.82%) and Asian (2.27%) students.
Academically, Mcneal Elementary School has variable performance on the AASA assessments, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others fall below. The school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, but its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 496 out of 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 569 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023. Additionally, a high percentage (81.82%) of students at Mcneal Elementary School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite its small size, Mcneal Elementary School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 3.6, which could be a strength in providing personalized attention to students. However, the school's limited resources and declining statewide ranking suggest the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to its performance and the support it may require to improve student outcomes.
