Blenman Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Blenman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 267 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 373 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Blenman Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores. In 2022-2023, only 10% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 22% for the district and 34% for the state. The school has ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools for the past several years and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Blenman Elementary also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students.

Interestingly, Blenman Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Sam Hughes Elementary, which ranked 114 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools and had much higher proficiency rates in 2022-2023. Despite the school's higher spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for Blenman Elementary's diverse student population, which includes a significant percentage of Hispanic (49.44%) and African American (18.35%) students.
