NUSD Online

Summary:

NUSD Online is a virtual public school serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade in Nogales, Arizona, with a student population of 142. The school is part of the Nogales Unified District, which is ranked 360 out of 540 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

NUSD Online faces significant challenges in serving its student population effectively. The school has a very low 4-year graduation rate of 8.3% and high dropout rates ranging from 4.3% to 27.7% in recent years. Academically, NUSD Online students consistently underperform compared to the Nogales Unified District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 5% of NUSD Online's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Science and English Language Arts, compared to 12% and 30% for the district, respectively.

Additionally, NUSD Online's spending per student has fluctuated significantly, ranging from $1,612 in 2021-2022 to $30,509 in 2018-2019, and the school has a very high student-teacher ratio of 142:1. These factors suggest that NUSD Online may be facing challenges in securing stable funding and staffing resources, which could be contributing to the school's struggles in supporting its students' academic and developmental needs.

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.
