Summary:
The Tolleson Elementary District in Arizona is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools generally perform below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, Arizona Desert Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, consistently outperforming its peers and the state in several subject areas. In contrast, Tolleson Virtual Academy, the smallest school in the district, has a mixed performance with some grade levels exceeding the district and state, while others lag behind, and a relatively high dropout rate.
The schools in the Tolleson Elementary District serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with the percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients ranging from 79.83% to 88.93% across the different schools. This suggests that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a significant factor in the overall academic performance of the schools. The wide range in spending per student, from $5,079 to $12,815, also raises questions about the equity and efficiency of resource allocation within the district.
Overall, the data reveals significant performance disparities between the schools in the Tolleson Elementary District, with Arizona Desert Elementary School consistently outperforming the other schools and the state averages. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help address these disparities and ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
