Lynn Urquides

Summary:

Lynn Urquides is an elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 409 students in grades PK-5, with a predominantly Hispanic student population (89.73%). 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.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Lynn Urquides consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 4-21% of Lynn Urquides students were proficient in English Language Arts and 5-21% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to district averages of 26-34% and 25-33%, respectively. The school's struggles extend to supporting the academic achievement of its diverse student population, with rankings for subgroups such as Hispanic, White, and multi-racial students all in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Tucson Unified District, such as Hollinger K-8, Mission View Elementary, and Raul Grijalva Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, but generally outperform Lynn Urquides. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges in providing a high-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.
