Tully Elementary Accelerated Magnet School

Summary:

Tully Elementary Accelerated Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona. With a student population of 314, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranking 1178 out of 1245 schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tully Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 10-18% of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to district averages of 26-34% and state averages of 37-45%. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with 78.66% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Tully Elementary has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (61.46%) and significant percentages of African American (12.74%), White (11.78%), and Native American (4.46%) students, which is not reflected in the surrounding schools.

Despite these challenges, Tully Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is lower than the nearby Davis Bilingual Magnet School, Douglas Elementary School, and the district average. This suggests that the school may have additional resources and support for its students, and with the right strategies and support, there may be opportunities for improvement in the future.

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.
