Mcneal Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of White students (70.45%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a majority Hispanic student population. The school has shown improvement in its academic performance over the years, increasing from the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools in 2010-2011 to the top 50% in 2022-2023, though its performance is still below the state average in most subject areas. Notably, Mcneal Elementary School has performed exceptionally well in serving its special education students, ranking in the top 25 Arizona elementary schools in this category in 2021-2022. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-income families (81.82% in 2022-2023), the school has managed to maintain a relatively high ranking among Arizona elementary schools serving this demographic.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Early Learning Center, Joe Carlson Elementary School, and Sarah Marley School, Mcneal Elementary School generally performs better in terms of academic achievement, particularly in serving its special education and low-income student populations.

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.
