Mt Tipton Elementary School

Summary:

Mt Tipton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dolan Springs, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is part of the Kingman Unified School District, which is ranked 380 out of 540 school districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic (48.3%) and White (44.89%) student population. However, the school consistently performs below the state and district averages in various standardized tests, including AASA (English Language Arts and Mathematics) and AzSCI (Science). In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 8% to 40% in English Language Arts and 8% to 17% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school's overall academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 545 out of 1079 elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 911 out of 1245 in 2022-2023.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school performs relatively well in serving students with special education needs (ranked 159 out of 820 in 2022-2023), it struggles with other subgroups, such as White students (ranked 947 out of 1024 in 2022-2023) and multi-racial students (ranked 956 out of 1027 in 2020-2021). The school's spending per student has increased from $12,930 in 2019-2020 to $15,510 in 2020-2021, but the student-teacher ratio has increased from 12.8 in 2020-2021 to 23.4 in 2022-2023, suggesting a potential challenge in providing personalized attention to students.

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.

Open Quote I have been teaching here for 5 years. We have recently been subject to a state AzMERIT exam at the end of each year. In the 2016-2017 school year, the school earned a D grade from the state (grading on the standard A through F scale). The 2017-2018 school year reflected significant increases in our test scores as the school earned a B grade from the state (actually only 3 points from and A grade). Conversely, for some reason(s), SchoolDigger reflects a decrease over the same two years. It appears the State of Arizona and SchoolDigger opposing views on the state of Mt. Tipton School. I find it disturbing that data may be analyzed in such a way that two independent entities could have such different results. I am not pointing fingers, just raising concern as to who does one believe? The State of Arizona or SchoolDigger? Either way, it is a shame there is such a disparity between the two. Close Quote

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.
