Baboquivari Middle School

Summary:

Baboquivari Middle School is a public middle school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 140 students in grades 7-8. The school has a predominantly Native American student population, with over 97% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, Baboquivari Middle School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Arizona, with only 2-15% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also experiences high dropout rates, ranging from 0.6% to 10.3% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. Interestingly, the nearby Alternative Middle School (Indian Oasis Middle School) serves a similar student population but has slightly higher academic proficiency rates and a lower dropout rate.

Baboquivari Middle School's challenges may be rooted in the unique needs of its predominantly Native American student population. The school's performance on state assessments for this subgroup is particularly low, ranking 151 out of 159 Arizona middle schools in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges in supporting the academic success of its Native American students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, targeted approach that takes into account the specific contextual factors and needs of the school and its Baboquivari Unified School District #40 community.

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.
