Santa Rosa Elementary School

Summary:

Santa Rosa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Maricopa, Arizona, part of the Maricopa Unified School District. The school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, but it currently outperforms the district and state in several academic measures, particularly for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students.

Santa Rosa Elementary's academic performance is a standout, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. The school also demonstrates strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking well for Asian, Native American, and English Language Learner students. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, which may have contributed to its improved academic results.

While Santa Rosa Elementary outperforms the district overall, some nearby schools within Maricopa Unified School District, such as Pima Butte Elementary, have higher academic proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subjects. Santa Rosa Elementary's success may also be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio, which has remained consistent in recent years.

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.
