Skyline Ranch Elementary School

Summary:

Skyline Ranch Elementary School is a public school located in San Tan Valley, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 584. The school is part of the Florence Unified School District, which is ranked 245 out of 288 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyline Ranch Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. The school's standardized test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 17% to 39% in ELA and 14% to 29% in Math. Skyline Ranch has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking between 700 and 754 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school also experiences relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.9% to 3.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Skyline Ranch has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching nearly 49% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, Skyline Ranch's diverse student population and relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 16.9 students per teacher in recent years, may present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Interestingly, the school's migrant student population performed relatively well, ranking 11 out of 60 Arizona elementary schools (rated 4 stars) in the 2020-2021 school year. While Skyline Ranch's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as San Tan Heights Elementary, Circle Cross K8 STEM Academy, and Combs Traditional Academy, the school's unique characteristics may provide opportunities for growth and improvement.

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.
