Elfrida Elementary School

Summary:

Elfrida Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Elfrida, Arizona, with a student population of just 106 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly Hispanic (65%) and White (32%), with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (74.53%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,920 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Elfrida Elementary School consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with only 13-34% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16-22% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37-45% and 27-43%, respectively. The school's performance has also declined over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from 504 out of 1,141 Arizona elementary schools in 2011-2012 to 943 out of 1,245 in the current school year. Interestingly, nearby schools such as Pearce Elementary School, Double Adobe Elementary School, and Mcneal Elementary School, which serve similar student populations, generally outperform Elfrida Elementary on academic measures.

While Elfrida Elementary School has maintained a 0% dropout rate, its unique challenges, such as the high poverty level and declining academic performance, suggest that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the school's struggles. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and Special Education students performing relatively well, but Hispanic, White, and female students ranking in the bottom 25-30% of the state. These insights highlight the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted support for underperforming student groups to address the persistent academic challenges faced by Elfrida Elementary School.

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.
