Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85333

Summary:

The 85333 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Dateland Elementary School and Sentinel Elementary School. While both schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, Dateland Elementary appears to outperform Sentinel Elementary academically despite spending significantly less per student.

Dateland Elementary has a much larger student body of 86 students compared to Sentinel Elementary's 38 students. However, Dateland maintains a much lower student-teacher ratio of 3.3, suggesting its students may receive more individualized attention. This seems to translate to stronger academic performance, with Dateland students generally scoring above state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

In contrast, Sentinel Elementary spends over twice as much per student as Dateland Elementary, yet does not demonstrate commensurately higher academic outcomes. This indicates that simply increasing funding does not necessarily lead to improved student performance. The schools' similar demographics and high rates of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch suggest that factors like class size and resource allocation may play a more significant role in driving academic success in this area served by the Hyder Elementary District and Sentinel Elementary District.
