Summary:
The Safford Unified District in Arizona is home to three elementary schools: Dorothy Stinson School, Ruth Powell Elementary School, and Lafe Nelson School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and demonstrate varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation.
Dorothy Stinson School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking higher than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Lafe Nelson School excels in 5th grade Science proficiency, outpacing both the district and state. While the schools generally perform below the state averages in some areas, they exhibit strengths in specific subjects and grade levels.
The schools also differ in their demographic makeup and resource allocation. Dorothy Stinson School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students, while Ruth Powell Elementary School has the highest percentage of White students. Additionally, Lafe Nelson School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. These differences in student demographics and resource allocation may contribute to the observed variations in academic performance among the schools.
