Pecan Grove Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Pecan Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Yuma, Arizona, serving 313 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Yuma Elementary District, which is ranked 315 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pecan Grove Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is over 90% Hispanic and an extremely high percentage (over 98%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 17% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2022-2023, compared to the district average of 33% and the state average of 41%. Pecan Grove has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, nearby schools like Alice Byrne Elementary School and George Washington Carver Elementary School have higher academic performance and better school rankings, despite serving similar student demographics. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools to address the educational inequities faced by the students at Pecan Grove Elementary.
