Summary

Bagdad Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bagdad, Arizona, with 312 students. The school is part of the Bagdad Unified District, which is ranked 178 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bagdad Elementary School's student performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 13% to 63% across different grade levels and subjects. While the school's 3rd grade students outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the performance declined in higher grades, with the 5th grade students struggling the most. The school has seen varying performance among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well, but African American and Native American students struggling. However, the school's performance with Special Education and Homeless students has been a bright spot, with these subgroups ranking in the top 25% of Arizona elementary schools in recent years.

The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 16.23% in 2021-2022 to 37.55% in 2022-2023. This increase in the proportion of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing to the school's overall performance decline. The only nearby school identified in the data is Hillside Elementary School, which is much smaller and has a lower student-teacher ratio, but its performance data is limited, making it difficult to draw meaningful comparisons.
