Pomerene Elementary School

Summary:

Pomerene Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Pomerene, Arizona, with a student population of 102 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio and dropout rate compared to nearby schools like St David Elementary School and Benson Primary School.

Pomerene Elementary School's academic performance is a standout, with 75% of its 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 37%, and 66% of its 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27%. This strong performance is likely aided by the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools. Additionally, Pomerene Elementary has maintained a very low dropout rate, further indicating its success in supporting and engaging its students.

However, the school's performance has fluctuated in terms of its statewide ranking and rating, suggesting it may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence. Furthermore, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 23.48% in 2021-2022 to 48.04% in 2022-2023, which could present additional challenges in providing necessary resources and support to ensure continued academic success. Despite these potential hurdles, Pomerene Elementary School remains a standout in the region, outperforming its neighboring schools in St David Unified District and Benson Unified School District.

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.
