Summary:
The Casa Grande Elementary District in Arizona operates 14 schools, including 11 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district faces some challenges, a few standout schools, such as McCartney Ranch Elementary School and Desert Willow Elementary School, are performing well above the district average.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools struggling to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in middle school grades. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Evergreen Elementary School, tend to have lower academic achievement, suggesting the need to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students. However, the CGESD Online Learning Academy, a small virtual school, has shown promising results, with several proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages.
Overall, the Casa Grande Elementary District faces challenges in improving academic performance, particularly in its middle schools, but also has pockets of excellence, such as McCartney Ranch Elementary School and Desert Willow Elementary School. Addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students and exploring innovative approaches like virtual learning could be potential strategies to drive improvement across the district.
