Yavapai Elementary School

Summary:

Yavapai Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Scottsdale Unified District in Scottsdale, Arizona, with an enrollment of 387 students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other Arizona elementary schools, receiving a range of 1 to 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Yavapai Elementary struggles academically, with only 20-38% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 60-71% for the district and 33-46% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students (76.74%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Yavapai Elementary ranks in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools for several student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby Navajo Elementary and Hohokam Elementary schools, which are also part of the Scottsdale Unified District, significantly outperform Yavapai Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just district membership may be contributing to Yavapai's underperformance.

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.
