Osborn Elementary District

The Osborn Elementary District in Arizona consists of 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with schools ranking below the state average, a few standout institutions emerge from the data.

The smallest school in the district, Montecito Community School, stands out with its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.7 and high spending per student of $932,834. However, this school also has the highest percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients at 85%, suggesting it serves a predominantly low-income population. In contrast, Clarendon School has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools and generally outperforms the district and state averages in test scores, particularly in science and math.

Across the district, the schools exhibit a wide range of student enrollment, from 40 students at Montecito Community School to 665 students at Encanto School. The student population is diverse, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. However, the high percentages of free or reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 59.85% to 85%, indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income community, which may present additional challenges in terms of resource allocation and student support.
