Summary:
The Naco Elementary District in Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Naco Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a student population of 276. The school faces significant challenges, with a student body that is 97.1% Hispanic and 88.77% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Naco Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics falling well below state averages. For example, in 5th grade science, only 11% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34%. This persistent underperformance suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support the unique needs of the student population.
Despite the challenges, the data also indicates opportunities for improvement. With per-student spending of $6,941, which is lower than the state average, addressing funding disparities could be an important step in providing the necessary resources and support for the school. By identifying specific areas of weakness and implementing strategies to support the high-poverty, minority student population, Naco Elementary School may be able to make meaningful progress in the future.
