Faras Elementary School

Public Grades K-5

Summary

Faras Elementary School is a public elementary school in Douglas, Arizona, serving 141 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Douglas Unified District, which is ranked 355 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Faras Elementary School faces significant challenges compared to the state and district averages. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (97.87%) than nearby schools, which range from 95.85% to 98.85% Hispanic. Academically, Faras Elementary consistently underperforms, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly lower than state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (90.07%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. As a result, Faras Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking between 808 and 1059 out of 1,245 schools in the state.

The challenges faced by Faras Elementary School are not unique, as the nearby Stevenson Elementary School, Sarah Marley School, Joe Carlson Elementary School, and Clawson School also struggle academically, with proficiency rates below the state averages. This suggests that the academic challenges are a systemic issue within the Douglas Unified District, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to address the educational inequities in the region.
