Summary

Greenway Primary School is an elementary school located in Bisbee, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 226 students. The school is part of the Bisbee Unified District, which is ranked 180 out of 289 districts in the state.

Greenway Primary School faces significant academic challenges, with its performance consistently ranking in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years. The school's standardized test scores are well below the state average, with only 34% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 30% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 36% and 42%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and white students.

While Greenway Primary School serves a high-poverty student population, with 76.42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, nearby schools such as Faras Elementary School and Coronado Elementary School generally perform better on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to Greenway's underperformance. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has decreased over the years, and its staffing has been inconsistent, which may also be impacting student outcomes.
