Manzo Elementary School

Summary:

Manzo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with 341 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low standardized test scores and a ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools.

Manzo Elementary's academic performance lags behind the Tucson Unified District and the state of Arizona as a whole. For example, in 5th-grade Science, only 14% of Manzo students were proficient or better, compared to 22% in the district and 34% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. This underperformance is in stark contrast to nearby Davis Bilingual Magnet School and Carrillo Intermediate Magnet School, which are part of the Tucson Unified District but have much higher proficiency rates and overall school rankings.

The challenges faced by Manzo Elementary may be related to its high percentage of students from low-income families, with 73.61% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as a decrease in per-student spending from $12,017 in 2018-2019 to $9,124 in 2019-2020. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7 students per teacher suggests that the academic struggles are not due to a lack of individual attention for students. Overall, Manzo Elementary's performance highlights the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support underperforming schools within the Tucson Unified District.

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.
