W F Killip Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

W F Killip Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Flagstaff, Arizona, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic (52.04%) and Native American (28.83%).

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 and higher per-student spending of $10,213 compared to the state average, W F Killip Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools over the past decade, with only 10-19% of its students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly underperforming the Flagstaff Unified District and the state of Arizona. This persistent low performance suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's challenges.

The school's high percentage of students (67.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a higher level of economic disadvantage compared to the surrounding schools, such as Manuel DeMiguel Elementary and Charles W Sechrist Elementary, which demonstrate significantly higher academic performance despite serving similar student populations. This highlights the potential for targeted interventions and support to address the educational disparities and improve student outcomes at W F Killip Elementary.

Killip Elemantary is a great school! My daughters been there for preschool, attending kindercamp and will be attending for kindergarten. So far, all her teachers, and teacher aids have been really great!!
