Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85626

Summary:

The 85626 zip code in Arizona has only one school, Faras Elementary School, which serves grades K-5. This public school has a total enrollment of 141 students, the majority of whom (97.87%) are Hispanic, with a very low percentage of White students (2.13%). Faras Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, currently at 808 out of 1,245 schools (2 out of 5 stars).

Academically, Faras Elementary School is underperforming compared to district and state averages across several key metrics. In science proficiency (5th grade), the school scored 14% compared to 26% in the district and 34% statewide. In ELA proficiency (3rd-5th grade), the school's scores ranged from 19-58%, while the district and state averages were 20-39% and 37-45%, respectively. Similarly, in math proficiency (3rd-5th grade), Faras Elementary scored 19-32%, compared to 20-29% in the district and 36-43% statewide. The school's high percentage of students (90.07%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a high level of economic disadvantage, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.

With lower per-student spending ($7,670) and a higher student-teacher ratio (23.5) than the state average, Faras Elementary School faces significant resource constraints that may be impacting its ability to support student success. Addressing these challenges and improving academic outcomes, particularly in core subjects like ELA and math, should be a priority for the school and the Douglas Unified District. Strategies to address the school's high poverty rate, such as increased funding, targeted interventions, and community partnerships, may help to improve student performance and ensure equitable access to quality education.
