Bloom Elementary

Summary:

Bloom Elementary is a public elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 364 students in grades PK-6. 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.

Bloom Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (51.1%) and African American (11.81%) students compared to nearby schools like Fruchthendler Elementary and Gale Elementary. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 25-30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41-45% and 39-43%, respectively. Bloom Elementary's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and African American students performing significantly worse than their peers in the state.

Bloom Elementary's spending per student has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from $8,570 in 2019-2020 to $12,648 in 2018-2019, which is higher than the spending per student at some nearby schools. The school also has a high percentage of students (65.93% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, along with the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby higher-performing schools, suggest that Bloom Elementary may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps, providing targeted support for underperforming student subgroups, and exploring ways to improve the school's overall effectiveness.

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.
