George Washington Academy

Summary:

George Washington Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Snowflake, Arizona, with a student population of 203. The school is part of the Edkey Inc. - Sequoia Village School district, which is ranked 375 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Washington Academy stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and math. The school outperforms the Edkey Inc. - Sequoia Village School district and the state of Arizona in several key test score metrics. For example, in 5th grade science, George Washington Academy had 57% proficiency compared to 35% for the district and 34% for the state. However, the school has seen a fluctuating dropout rate, ranging from 0% to 7.2%, which is an area of concern. Additionally, George Washington Academy has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Show Low Preschool, Nikolaus Homestead Elementary School, and Highland Primary School, George Washington Academy stands out as a relatively high-performing school, particularly in science and math. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, which is not fully representative of the racial diversity in the surrounding area, and could be an area for the school to focus on in terms of outreach and inclusivity.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
