Hudlow Elementary School

Summary:

Hudlow Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 164 students in grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (55.49%), with significant percentages of White (28.05%) and African American (7.93%) students.

Despite its small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hudlow Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic measures. The school ranks in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 30% and 33% respectively for the district. Hudlow also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools for its performance with multi-racial, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. Neighboring schools like Wheeler Elementary and Bloom Elementary generally outperform Hudlow, and even nearby public charter schools like La Paloma Academy and Da Vinci Tree Academy tend to have higher academic performance.

With a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (74.39%), Hudlow Elementary serves a high-need student population. However, the school's funding levels are higher than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, suggesting that additional resources alone are not the primary driver of the school's underperformance. Comprehensive school improvement efforts may be necessary to better support the academic achievement of Hudlow's 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.

Hudlow is a great school. The teachers are very caring want to see the children learn. They communicate their concerns to you and will go the extra mile to see the children succeed. My child loves going to school each day. I love that he is learning to love to read. I wouldn't send him anywhere else. 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.
