T G Barr School

Summary:

T G Barr School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Roosevelt Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, with a student population of 317 that is predominantly Hispanic (82.65%).

Despite spending significantly more per student ($16,225 in 2021-2022) than the state average, T G Barr School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are alarmingly low, ranging from just 3-24% in ELA and math, well below the state averages of 37-45% and 27-43%, respectively. In comparison, nearby schools like Irene Lopez School and Cloves C. Campbell Senior Elementary School outperform T G Barr School by a significant margin, with proficiency rates that are 2-3 times higher.

T G Barr School's challenges extend beyond academics, with a high poverty level (over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and declining enrollment over the past decade. While the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate, addressing the persistent issues at T G Barr School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for its students.

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.
