George Washington Carver Elementary School

Summary:

George Washington Carver Elementary School is a public elementary school in Yuma, Arizona, serving 333 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Yuma Elementary District.

The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low performance compared to district and state averages. Only 20-24% of students are proficient in English Language Arts, and 28-33% are proficient in Mathematics, lagging behind the district's 33-38% and 29-33% proficiency rates, respectively. The school has an extremely high percentage (over 96%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's spending per student has increased in recent years, the academic outcomes have not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the school's challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Pecan Grove Elementary School and O.C. Johnson School, also serve predominantly Hispanic student populations and face similar academic performance challenges. However, some of these nearby schools, like O.C. Johnson School, have shown slightly better academic performance compared to George Washington Carver Elementary School. Additionally, the school's African American student subgroup has shown relatively strong performance, ranking in the top 80-125 schools in Arizona, while the Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner subgroups have performed significantly lower.

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.
