Coronado Elementary School

Summary:

Coronado Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Sierra Vista, Arizona, serving a student population of 444. The school is part of the Palominas Elementary School District 49, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coronado Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school performs better in some grade levels and subjects, it lags behind in others. For example, in 2023-2024, Coronado's 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (54%) was higher than the state average (41%), but its 8th-grade Math proficiency rate (39%) was lower than the state average (28%). The school's rankings for specific student subgroups also vary significantly, with Hispanic students performing well but White and multi-racial students struggling. Coronado Elementary has maintained relatively low dropout rates, but its spending per student has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $4,305 to $7,710, which is lower than the state average.

Interestingly, Coronado Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 189 out of 1,079 Arizona elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 502 out of 904 in 2023-2024. This suggests a need for the school to address its academic performance and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, some nearby schools in the Sierra Vista Unified District, such as Huachuca Mountain Elementary and Bella Vista Elementary, have outperformed Coronado in recent years, indicating potential opportunities for Coronado to learn from their practices.

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.
