Stevenson Elementary School

Summary:

Stevenson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Douglas Unified District in Douglas, Arizona. The school has a student population of 390 and a predominantly Hispanic student body, with over 96% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Stevenson Elementary consistently underperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31-47% of Stevenson students were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 38-46%. The school has a relatively low performance compared to the state, with its SchoolDigger ranking ranging from 536 to 850 out of over 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in recent years, and a 2-3 star rating out of 5. Stevenson Elementary also has a high percentage of students (74.62% in 2022-2023) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Stevenson Elementary shares a district with other nearby schools, such as Clawson School and Joe Carlson Elementary, it generally performs worse than its counterparts, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better SchoolDigger rankings. Additionally, Stevenson Elementary's lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio may indicate resource constraints that could be impacting the school's ability to provide comprehensive educational support and services to its students.

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.
