McCorkle Pk-8

Summary:

McCorkle Pk-8 is an elementary school located in Tucson, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,084 students. The school is part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 207 out of 288 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McCorkle Pk-8 consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 718 and 1,223 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the Tucson Unified District and Arizona state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13-25% of McCorkle Pk-8 students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 28-46% at the district and state levels. The school has also experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 2.0% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Tucson Unified District, such as Henry Hank Oyama, John E White Elementary, and Raul Grijalva Elementary, generally perform better than McCorkle Pk-8 on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. However, these nearby schools also serve student populations with similar socioeconomic and racial demographics, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to McCorkle Pk-8's underperformance. Additionally, the relatively low per-student spending at McCorkle Pk-8 compared to the district and state averages may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.

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.
