Beaver Dam Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6
Summary

Beaver Dam Elementary is a public elementary school in Littlefield, Arizona, serving 208 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Littlefield Unified District, which is ranked 382 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Beaver Dam Elementary is performing significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, including English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, only 10% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 585 out of 1,039 Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,041 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023.

The school faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (73.56% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively low per-student spending ($3,557 in 2018-2019, compared to the state average). These factors may contribute to the academic struggles at Beaver Dam Elementary, which has seen a disproportionate impact on certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and Special Education students.
