Summary:
The Elfrida Elementary District consists of a single public elementary school, Elfrida Elementary School, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 106 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (65.09%) with a significant white population (32.08%) and a small percentage of Native American students (1.89%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Elfrida Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of students (74.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. The school's consistently low proficiency rates in science, English Language Arts, and mathematics suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively small size and the fact that it serves grades PK-8 may present opportunities for a more focused and tailored approach to addressing the specific needs of its student population.
While the data reveals a struggling school, there may be potential for improvement. The school's per-student spending of $14,920 for the 2020-2021 school year suggests that resources are available, and with the right strategies and support, Elfrida Elementary School could work to close the performance gap with the state averages. However, the school's performance is directly reflective of the Elfrida Elementary District as a whole, indicating a need for district-level interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by the community.
