Summary:
The city of Guadalupe, Arizona has only one school, Frank Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Tempe School District. With a total enrollment of 506 students, Frank Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools over the past few years, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.
The school's performance on standardized tests, such as AzSCI/Science and AASA/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 17% to 35% compared to district averages of 30% to 43% and state averages of 34% to 46%. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $12,982, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 13.8, slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 15:1 or lower.
These findings suggest that Frank Elementary School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, resource allocation, and potentially, socioeconomic factors. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted strategies, such as professional development for teachers, additional academic support for students, and efforts to engage the community and address underlying barriers to student success.
