Wenden Elementary School

Summary:

Wenden Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wenden, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 80 students. The school is part of the Wenden Elementary District, which is ranked 288 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wenden Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.75%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of White students (13.75%). The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average across various grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (76.25%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which may indicate more individualized attention for students.

Compared to the nearby Salome Elementary School, Wenden Elementary has a more homogeneous student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and a lower percentage of White students. Salome Elementary's academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, is generally higher than Wenden Elementary's. This suggests that factors beyond just spending per student, which is higher at Wenden Elementary, play a crucial role in determining school performance.

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.
