David Crockett Elementary School

Summary:

David Crockett Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Balsz Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 38.76% African American, 48.64% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Despite its diverse student body, David Crockett Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic achievement. Only 26% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 16% in the district and 39% statewide. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, while White, multi-racial, and English Language Learner students perform much worse. The school's high percentage of low-income students, with 92.83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges.

While the other Balsz Elementary District schools, Brunson-Lee Elementary and Griffith Elementary, perform similarly to David Crockett Elementary, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Excelencia School and Gateway School, perform slightly better. This suggests that factors beyond just the district may be at play in the school's performance. Despite the overall low performance, David Crockett Elementary's English Language Learner students have performed relatively well, indicating that the school may be effectively supporting this population, which could provide insights for improving outcomes for other student subgroups.

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.
