Mt Tipton Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Mt Tipton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dolan Springs, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is part of the Kingman Unified School District, which is ranked 380 out of 540 school districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic (48.3%) and White (44.89%) student population. However, the school consistently performs below the state and district averages in various standardized tests, including AASA (English Language Arts and Mathematics) and AzSCI (Science). In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 8% to 40% in English Language Arts and 8% to 17% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school's overall academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 545 out of 1079 elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 911 out of 1245 in 2022-2023.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school performs relatively well in serving students with special education needs (ranked 159 out of 820 in 2022-2023), it struggles with other subgroups, such as White students (ranked 947 out of 1024 in 2022-2023) and multi-racial students (ranked 956 out of 1027 in 2020-2021). The school's spending per student has increased from $12,930 in 2019-2020 to $15,510 in 2020-2021, but the student-teacher ratio has increased from 12.8 in 2020-2021 to 23.4 in 2022-2023, suggesting a potential challenge in providing personalized attention to students.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, January 11, 2019

I have been teaching here for 5 years. We have recently been subject to a state AzMERIT exam at the end of each year. In the 2016-2017 school year, the school earned a D grade from the state (grading on the standard A through F scale). The 2017-2018 school year reflected significant increases in our test scores as the school earned a B grade from the state (actually only 3 points from and A grade). Conversely, for some reason(s), SchoolDigger reflects a decrease over the same two years. It appears the State of Arizona and SchoolDigger opposing views on the state of Mt. Tipton School. I find it disturbing that data may be analyzed in such a way that two independent entities could have such different results. I am not pointing fingers, just raising concern as to who does one believe? The State of Arizona or SchoolDigger? Either way, it is a shame there is such a disparity between the two. Close Quote
