Anna Lawrence Intermediate School

Summary:

Anna Lawrence Intermediate School is a public middle school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 264 students in grades 3-8. The school is part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 373 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anna Lawrence Intermediate School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high dropout rates compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Native American students (43.56%) than surrounding schools, which range from 1.55% to 8.29% Native American students. Additionally, over 80% of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the Tucson Unified District and the state averages across all grade levels, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona middle schools for the past decade.

While the nearby schools in the Tucson Unified District also struggle with low academic performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, Paulo Freire Freedom School - Downtown, Utterback Middle School, and Gallego Intermediate Fine Arts Magnet School perform better than Anna Lawrence Intermediate School. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive, district-wide approach to addressing the educational challenges faced by these schools, with a focus on targeted interventions and increased resources to support the unique needs of the student population at Anna Lawrence Intermediate School.

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.
