Navarrete Elementary

Summary:

Navarrete Elementary is a public elementary school in Chandler, Arizona, serving 461 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Chandler Unified District #80. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Native American students compared to nearby schools. Academically, Navarrete Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 56-59% of students scoring proficient or better. However, its Mathematics proficiency rates, while still above the state average, are lower than its ELA performance.

Compared to other schools in the Chandler Unified District, Navarrete Elementary performs well, outranking schools like Robert J.C. Rice Elementary and Chandler Traditional Academy-Freedom. Yet, the school lags behind some of the top-performing elementary schools in the district, such as Weinberg Gifted Academy and Audrey & Robert Ryan Elementary. Additionally, Navarrete Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, suggesting a need to address any achievement gaps, particularly for its Asian and White student subgroups.

One notable trend at Navarrete Elementary is the significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, from 9.2% in 2021-2022 to 22.78% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending has remained relatively consistent, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 in 2022-2023 is lower than nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic performance. By leveraging its resources and focusing on targeted interventions, Navarrete Elementary can continue to improve and provide a high-quality education for its diverse student population.

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.
