Meyer Montessori

Summary:

Meyer Montessori is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Tempe, Arizona, with a student population of 193 that is predominantly White (60.1%) and Hispanic (29.02%). Despite being part of the Tempe School District, which is ranked 311 out of 540 districts in the state, Meyer Montessori consistently outperforms the district and the state of Arizona in academic proficiency across various grade levels and subjects.

For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 56% of Meyer Montessori's 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to just 31% for the Tempe School District and 34% for the state. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as multi-racial students and male students, ranking in the top 50% of Arizona elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, Meyer Montessori has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 14.6 over the past three school years, and spends more per student than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Flora Thew Elementary and Carminati School, Meyer Montessori stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 465th out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year, while many of its neighbors ranked much lower. The school's strong performance, particularly for certain student subgroups, suggests that it is providing a quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
