Stanfield Elementary School

Summary:

Stanfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Stanfield, Arizona, with a student population of 403. The school is part of the Stanfield Elementary District, which is ranked 488 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanfield Elementary School faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools, with only 6-25% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37-45%. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 4.9% to 14.4% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students (84.86%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school spends significantly more per student ($11,908 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Comparing Stanfield Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Cottonwood Elementary, Santa Cruz Elementary, and Maricopa Elementary, suggests that the broader region may be struggling with similar challenges, but Stanfield's performance is particularly concerning. These nearby schools generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
