Maxine O Bush Elementary School

Summary:

Maxine O Bush Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Roosevelt Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, with a student population of 262 that is predominantly Hispanic (73.66%) and African American (18.32%).

Despite having relatively high per-student spending of $16,009, Maxine O Bush Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, the school has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 0.9%, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Valley View School and V.H. Lassen Elementary, which also struggle academically, generally perform better than Maxine O Bush. This suggests that the school faces significant challenges in improving student achievement and overall performance, and may benefit from targeted instructional support, increased resources for underperforming subgroups, and a strategic plan for school turnaround and long-term sustainability.

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.

Friday, October 26, 2012

Open Quote I recently had a substitute position at this school. I have a been a teacher for quite some time and have never been treated with such disrespect from a class. By the end of the day I had kicked out 8 students. I saw teachers from other classrooms constantly using classroom management and this takes away from teaching time. The administrators weren't anywhere to be found and the Behavior Specialist basically has his hands tied and is not allowed to administer real discipline. One example, if a student is disrespectful, they are back in class the very next day like nothing ever happened. The students aren't held responsible for their actions. The students are the ones that run this school. Close Quote

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.
