Naco Elementary School

Summary:

Naco Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Naco, Arizona, with a student population of 276. The school is part of the Naco Elementary District, which is ranked 508 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population is predominantly Hispanic, at around 97% in recent years.

Naco Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking. Its performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 3-29% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 9-27% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 37-45% and 36-43%, respectively. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.5% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 88.77% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better compared to the overall student population, ranking in the top 30-40% of Arizona elementary schools for ELL students.

The nearby schools, such as Coronado Elementary, Double Adobe Elementary, and Palominas Elementary, all have significantly higher academic performance, lower dropout rates, and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to Naco Elementary. This stark contrast suggests potential funding and resource disparities, which may be contributing to the school's challenges. While the overall enrollment at Naco Elementary has declined from 276 students in 2022-2023, the racial composition has remained relatively stable, with a consistently high percentage of Hispanic students.

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.
