Salida Del Sol Elementary

Summary:

Salida Del Sol Elementary is a public elementary school in Yuma, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 696. The school is part of the Crane Elementary District, which is ranked 178 out of 288 districts in the state.

Salida Del Sol Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 19-28% of Salida Del Sol students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37-45% for the district and 39-46% for the state. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, Native American, and English Language Learner students, who consistently rank in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools in their respective categories.

Interestingly, some nearby schools within the Crane Elementary District, such as Pueblo Elementary and Gowan Science Academy, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state average.

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.
