Little Red Schoolhouse

Summary:

Little Red Schoolhouse is an elementary school located in Nogales, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 183 students. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the Santa Cruz Elementary District, which is ranked 76 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Little Red Schoolhouse consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 54% of 3rd graders, 63% of 5th graders, and 55% of 8th graders at Little Red Schoolhouse were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39%, 38%, and 35%, respectively. The school also performs exceptionally well for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Arizona elementary schools for these groups in recent years.

Despite serving a high percentage of low-income students (70.49% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2022-2023), Little Red Schoolhouse has been able to maintain a 0% dropout rate for several years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (13.8 in 2021-2022) and higher per-student spending ($13,150 in 2020-2021) may contribute to its academic success, suggesting the importance of adequate staffing and resources for supporting student learning.

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.
