Frances J Warren Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Frances J Warren Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 162 that is predominantly Hispanic (79.63% in 2022-2023).

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, Frances J Warren Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state averages. In 2022-2023, only 15% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 22% for the district and 34% for the state. The school's high percentage of students (76.54% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Henry Hank Oyama and La Paloma Academy-South, Frances J Warren Elementary is among the lowest-performing in the area, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

The consistent underperformance of Frances J Warren Elementary, despite its low student-teacher ratio, suggests that factors beyond just staffing levels, such as socioeconomic challenges and resource allocation, may be contributing to the school's struggles. The high percentage of Hispanic students, coupled with the low academic performance, raises questions about potential racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps that require further analysis and targeted interventions. Collaboration with the Tucson Unified District and community stakeholders could be crucial in developing and implementing effective strategies to support student learning and improve academic outcomes at Frances J Warren Elementary.
