Morgan Maxwell School

Summary:

Morgan Maxwell School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 452 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, making up 73.23% of the student population.

Despite its diverse student population, Morgan Maxwell School has consistently underperformed compared to the Tucson Unified District and the state of Arizona in academic assessments. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade, only 16% of students were proficient in ELA and 2% were proficient in Math, compared to the state averages of 37% and 27%, respectively. The school has a very low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, and its performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students.

When comparing Morgan Maxwell School to other nearby schools in the Tucson Unified District, such as Davis Bilingual Magnet School and Carrillo Intermediate Magnet School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. These nearby magnet schools have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, suggesting that the magnet school model may be providing additional resources and support that are benefiting student outcomes.

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.
