Summary:
The Flowing Wells Unified District in Arizona is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools share a district, the data reveals significant performance disparities between them, with some schools consistently ranking among the top in the state and others struggling to meet academic benchmarks.
The standout schools in the district are J. Robert Hendricks Elementary School and Robert Richardson Elementary School. Both schools have consistently high test scores, with 51-72% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41-66% proficient or better in Mathematics. These schools also have lower free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a lower level of economic disadvantage among their student populations.
In contrast, Douglas Elementary School, Homer Davis Elementary School, and Laguna Elementary School struggle to meet academic standards, with many grades performing below the district and state averages. These schools also have higher free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 66% to 92%, suggesting a greater concentration of economically disadvantaged students. The district may need to explore targeted interventions and additional resources to support these lower-performing schools and help close the achievement gap.
