Summary:
The Toltec School District in Arizona contains only one elementary school, Arizona City Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of elementary schools in the state over the past few years. The school's performance on English Language Arts assessments is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 16% to 25% across different grade levels, compared to the state average of 36% to 46%. Additionally, the school's dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 5.2%, which is higher than the state average.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Arizona City Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its student-teacher ratio of 30.5 is higher than the state average. These factors can impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Furthermore, the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $7,334, which is lower than the state average, potentially limiting the resources available to support student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that Arizona City Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low performance, underperformance in English Language Arts, and potential socioeconomic and funding-related issues highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes within the Toltec School District.
