Summary

Lineweaver Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona. With 526 students, the school has consistently outperformed the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and math.

Lineweaver's strong academic performance is evident across various student subgroups, with White and Native American students ranking in the top quartile of Arizona elementary schools. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6-16 students per teacher, suggesting more individualized attention for students. However, Lineweaver's statewide ranking has declined from the top quartile in recent years, and the school faces challenges in maintaining its high level of achievement over time. Nearby W. Arthur Sewel Elementary and Sam Hughes Elementary, both charter schools, outperform Lineweaver across multiple metrics.

Despite its economic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Lineweaver continues to be a solid-performing school that outpaces its district and state in many areas. The school's ability to achieve strong academic outcomes with relatively lower per-student funding is noteworthy. As parents consider educational options for their children, Lineweaver's performance, along with the context of nearby schools, provides valuable information to inform their decision-making process.
