Sopori Elementary School

Summary:

Sopori Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Amado, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 109. The school is part of the Sahuarita Unified District, which is ranked 194 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sopori Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a much higher Hispanic student population (80.73%) than surrounding schools, which range from 47.26% to 65.03% Hispanic students. Academically, Sopori consistently underperforms the district and state, with only 26% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to 42% in the district and 34% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, receiving 0-2 stars from SchoolDigger over the past decade. However, Sopori does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, compared to 14.6 to 22.8 in nearby schools.

Sopori's academic performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 454 out of 955 schools in 2014-2015 to 835 out of 1,245 schools in 2022-2023. This is concerning, especially when compared to the higher-performing Copper View Elementary, Sahuarita Intermediate, and Wrightson Ridge K-8 schools in the area. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sopori (77.06%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic outcomes, highlighting the need for targeted support and resources.

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.
