Frances J Warren Elementary School

Summary:

Frances J Warren Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 162 that is predominantly Hispanic (79.63% in 2022-2023).

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, Frances J Warren Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state averages. In 2022-2023, only 15% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 22% for the district and 34% for the state. The school's high percentage of students (76.54% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Henry Hank Oyama and La Paloma Academy-South, Frances J Warren Elementary is among the lowest-performing in the area, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

The consistent underperformance of Frances J Warren Elementary, despite its low student-teacher ratio, suggests that factors beyond just staffing levels, such as socioeconomic challenges and resource allocation, may be contributing to the school's struggles. The high percentage of Hispanic students, coupled with the low academic performance, raises questions about potential racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps that require further analysis and targeted interventions. Collaboration with the Tucson Unified District and community stakeholders could be crucial in developing and implementing effective strategies to support student learning and improve academic outcomes at Frances J Warren Elementary.

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.
