Jack L Kuban Elementary School

Summary:

Jack L Kuban Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, with a student population of 447 that is predominantly Hispanic (95.53%). The school is part of the Murphy Elementary District, which is ranked 502 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jack L Kuban Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 92%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The nearby schools in the same Murphy Elementary District as well as those in the neighboring Isaac Elementary District, such as Moya Elementary, Alta E Butler School, and Esperanza Elementary School, also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Jack L Kuban Elementary are not unique, but rather reflective of broader systemic issues within the local education system.

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.
