E C Nash School

Summary:

E C Nash School is an elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 296 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Amphitheater Unified District, which is ranked 237 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

E C Nash School faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing well below the district and state averages in proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 14% of 3rd graders, 8% of 4th graders, and 16% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 42%, 46%, and 39%, respectively. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 5% of 3rd graders, 6% of 4th graders, and 4% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding the standards, compared to the district averages of 42%, 46%, and 37%. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (70.61%) and a high percentage of students from low-income families (93.58% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,155 in the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 in the 2022-2023 school year, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance is particularly concerning given the high percentage of students from low-income families, which is a known risk factor for academic achievement. Nearby schools, such as Helen Keeling Elementary and L M Prince School, which are also part of the Amphitheater Unified District, perform slightly better than E C Nash School but still struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

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.
