Robles Elementary School

Summary:

Robles Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 389 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools and underperforming academically compared to nearby schools like John E. White Elementary, Raul Grijalva Elementary, and Picture Rocks Elementary.

Robles Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.92% to 81.69%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 24.4 to 32.4 students per teacher, which is higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Robles Elementary spends between $4,329 to $8,160 per student, which is on the lower end compared to the state and district averages, potentially impacting the school's ability to provide necessary resources and support for its students.

The racial makeup of Robles Elementary is significantly different from some of the nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.58%) compared to schools like Picture Rocks Elementary, which has a higher percentage of White students (61.26%). This suggests potential racial and socioeconomic segregation within the local school system. Additionally, Robles Elementary's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Native American students, indicating the need for targeted interventions and additional support to address these disparities.

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.
