Pecan Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Pecan Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Yuma, Arizona, serving 313 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Yuma Elementary District, which is ranked 315 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pecan Grove Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is over 90% Hispanic and an extremely high percentage (over 98%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 17% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2022-2023, compared to the district average of 33% and the state average of 41%. Pecan Grove has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, nearby schools like Alice Byrne Elementary School and George Washington Carver Elementary School have higher academic performance and better school rankings, despite serving similar student demographics. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools to address the educational inequities faced by the students at Pecan Grove Elementary.

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.
