Beaver Dam Elementary

Summary:

Beaver Dam Elementary is a public elementary school in Littlefield, Arizona, serving 208 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Littlefield Unified District, which is ranked 382 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Beaver Dam Elementary is performing significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, including English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, only 10% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 585 out of 1,039 Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,041 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023.

The school faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (73.56% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively low per-student spending ($3,557 in 2018-2019, compared to the state average). These factors may contribute to the academic struggles at Beaver Dam Elementary, which has seen a disproportionate impact on certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and Special Education 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.
