Pine Strawberry Elementary School

Summary:

Pine Strawberry Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-8 in the rural town of Pine, Arizona, with a student population of just 96 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, this school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly among certain student subgroups.

Pine Strawberry Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 81% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 41%. The school also ranks in the top 15 out of 1,116 Arizona elementary schools for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and in the top 97 out of 820 schools for students receiving special education services. Additionally, Pine Strawberry Elementary maintains a 0% dropout rate, significantly lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Payson Elementary School and Julia Randall Elementary School, both part of the Payson Unified District, Pine Strawberry Elementary consistently outperforms them on academic measures. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting some inconsistency in its performance. With a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Pine Strawberry Elementary appears to be providing a high-quality education to its students, though the reasons for its academic success may be complex.

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.
