Summary:
Seligman Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Seligman, Arizona, with a total enrollment of 139 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. This unique school stands out for its diverse student population, which is significantly more racially diverse than the state average, with a mix of White, Native American, Hispanic, and other ethnicities.
Academically, Seligman Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school outperforms the state in 3rd-grade English Language Arts, it underperforms in several other grade levels and subjects, such as 4th-grade Mathematics and 8th-grade Science. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuating dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 8.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average for elementary schools. The student-teacher ratio has also varied significantly, from 8.4 students per teacher to 19.8 students per teacher, which may impact the quality of instruction.
Seligman Elementary serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, though the school does invest a relatively high amount per student at $28,859 per student. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with special needs performing relatively well, while White students and female students perform significantly worse. Overall, Seligman Elementary's diverse student population, mixed academic performance, and declining statewide ranking suggest the need for the school to implement strategies to better serve its students and community.
