Taylor Intermediate School

Summary:

Taylor Intermediate School is a public middle school in Taylor, Arizona, serving 235 students in grades 4-6. The school is part of the Snowflake Unified District, and its student body is predominantly White, with Hispanic students making up the next largest group.

Taylor Intermediate School consistently outperforms the Snowflake Unified District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 4th-grade ELA at 57% (vs. 54% district, 46% state) and 5th-grade Mathematics at 68% (vs. 53% district, 33% state). However, the school's performance in Science was lower than the district average but still above the state average.

While Taylor Intermediate School's academic excellence is evident, the school has seen a sharp increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 17.39% in 2021-2022 to 50.64% in 2022-2023. This suggests a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may have implications for the school's resource needs and support services. Nearby schools, such as Snowflake Intermediate School and Snowflake Junior High School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, indicating the Snowflake Unified District as a whole may have effective educational practices.

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.
