James B Rolle School

Summary:

James B Rolle School is an elementary school located in Yuma, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 512. The school is part of the Yuma Elementary District, which is ranked 217 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

James B Rolle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking between 373 and 808 over the past 10 years. Its performance on state assessments is also below the district and state averages, with only 21% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33% for the district and 39% for the state. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.84% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges.

However, George Washington Carver Elementary and Alice Byrne Elementary, nearby schools in the Yuma Elementary District, generally perform better than James B Rolle School on state assessments and have higher rankings. This suggests the school may need to address the specific needs of its diverse student population, including its successful support for migrant and military-connected students, to improve overall academic achievement.

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.
