Hermosa Vista Elementary School

Summary:

Hermosa Vista Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mesa, Arizona, serving around 640 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Mesa Unified District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, ranking in the top 20% of Arizona elementary schools for several years.

Hermosa Vista's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 65% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38% for the district and 39% for the state. The school's special education and English Language Learner students also perform above average, ranking in the top 6% and top 24% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. This suggests Hermosa Vista provides effective support and resources for these specialized student populations.

While Hermosa Vista's student population has a higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, the school's ability to maintain its academic success over time, even as the demographics have shifted, is a testament to the quality of its educational practices and the dedication of its staff. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may indicate it serves a more affluent student population, which could present challenges in ensuring resources and support are accessible to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

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.
