Lehi Elementary School

Summary:

Lehi Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mesa, Arizona, serving 376 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Mesa Unified District, which has a 3-star rating, and has a diverse student population with a majority Hispanic enrollment (69.68%).

Lehi Elementary consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 6th grade ELA, Lehi had a 25% proficiency rate compared to the district's 43% and the state's 42%. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, struggling to support the academic achievement of its diverse student subgroups, particularly Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Mesa Unified District, such as Hale Elementary, which has significantly higher proficiency rates and a 4-star rating, it becomes clear that Lehi Elementary is an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families (76.6%) and lack of improvement over time suggest that it may require targeted interventions and additional resources to help its students succeed.

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.
