Summary

West Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Coolidge, Arizona, part of the Coolidge Unified District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 874 out of 909 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

West Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 23% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 36% and 42%, respectively. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona schools for most student subgroups. Additionally, the school has relatively low per-student spending and a high student-teacher ratio, which may be contributing factors to its poor academic outcomes.

While West Elementary is the lowest-performing school in the immediate area, some nearby schools, such as Walker Butte K-8 and Desert Willow Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic outcomes and higher rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies to improve the performance of West Elementary School.
