Summary:

Town & Country Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sierra Vista, Arizona, serving 433 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Sierra Vista Unified District, which is ranked 153 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Town & Country Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency on the AASA (Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment) for English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 29% to 51% in ELA and 29% to 32% in Math, while the district and state averages were generally higher. The school's performance has also declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the 300s to the 700s out of over 1,000 Arizona elementary schools. The school has particularly struggled with the academic performance of certain student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The nearby Bella Vista Elementary and Carmichael Elementary schools generally outperform Town & Country Elementary in academic proficiency, with higher rankings and better performance on state assessments. Additionally, the Leman Academy of Excellence-Sierra Vista, a public charter school, has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic proficiency, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in the local context.

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.
