Arredondo Elementary School

Summary:

Arredondo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tempe, Arizona, serving around 460 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tempe School District, which is ranked 197 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arredondo Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Native American students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the Tempe School District and Arizona averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Arredondo has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Native American students performing relatively better than other subgroups.

Arredondo's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, and its academic performance is inconsistent across grade levels. When compared to nearby schools in the Tempe School District, such as Curry Elementary School, Broadmor Elementary School, and Carminati School, Arredondo generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's high percentage of low-income students and diverse racial/ethnic composition may present unique challenges in supporting the academic needs of English Language Learners and students with special education needs.

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.

Open Quote My son was having an issue with bullying And the school did not even follow its own Handbook protocol. The reason I was given was that the incident was not considered bullying... even though my son actually had physical injuries. Close Quote

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.
