Diamondback Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Diamondback Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bullhead City, Arizona, with an enrollment of 356 students in the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Bullhead City School District, which is ranked 248 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Diamondback Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 29% of 3rd graders and 47% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 28% of 3rd graders and 19% of 4th graders meeting or exceeding standards in mathematics. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 265 out of 1,079 Arizona elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 994 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, placing it in the bottom 20% of elementary schools in the state. Diamondback Elementary's performance on standardized tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, and the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.73% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Sunrise Elementary and Desert Valley School, which are also part of the Bullhead City School District, Diamondback Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher academic proficiency rates, better statewide rankings, and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's declining performance over time and the significant disparities in achievement across student subgroups suggest that Diamondback Elementary may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive and targeted approach to address and improve student outcomes.
