Nadaburg Elementary School

Summary:

Nadaburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Wittmann, Arizona, with a student population of 414. The school is part of the Nadaburg Unified School District, which is ranked 200 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nadaburg Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, and it struggles to support certain student subgroups, with the school's rankings for White, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, Nadaburg Elementary has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0% to 3.7%.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Desert Oasis Elementary (also in the Nadaburg Unified School District) and schools in the Dysart Unified and Peoria Unified districts, Nadaburg Elementary consistently underperforms on academic measures. The school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $5,735 in 2019-2020 to $8,510 in 2021-2022, but this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

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.

Open Quote This is a fabulous school! The kids are kind, the teacher are amazing..I feel that my students are in a safe environment, they are learning real world skills with a nurturing environment. I Would recommend this school to anyone moving In the area. I have not seen any of the negative comments people have written about in the past. And I am very picky. I sent my kids to a private school for 6 years and paid a lot of money. This school is just as good if not better in many aspects. Close Quote

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.
