Toltec Elementary School

Summary:

Toltec Elementary School is a public alternative school located in Eloy, Arizona, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 389 students. The school is part of the Toltec School District, which is ranked 522 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Toltec Elementary School consistently underperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 2% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 34%. The school has also experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 5.6% over the past five school years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Toltec Elementary School has a very high percentage of students (over 76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, Coolidge Virtual Academy, a public virtual school located about 15 miles from Toltec Elementary, also struggles academically, with low test scores and high dropout rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Toltec Elementary may be indicative of broader educational challenges in the region. The significant fluctuations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios over the years at Toltec Elementary may also indicate instability in the school's resources and staffing, which could impact the quality of education and student outcomes.

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.
