Summary

C I Waggoner School is an elementary school located in Tempe, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 425 students. It is part of the Kyrene Elementary District, which is ranked 117 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

C I Waggoner School has shown a mixed academic performance compared to the Kyrene Elementary District and the state of Arizona. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5 are generally higher than the district and state averages, but its Science proficiency for 5th grade is lower than the district average. This suggests the school is performing well in core academic areas but may need to focus on improving Science outcomes. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with strong performance for Asian and Hispanic students but struggles with African American and Native American students, indicating the need for targeted interventions to support the academic achievement of these underperforming subgroups.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Kyrene district, Kyrene de las Brisas and Kyrene del Cielo consistently outperform C I Waggoner in academic proficiency, while Kyrene de los Ninos and Kyrene del Norte have lower proficiency rates. This indicates C I Waggoner is not the highest-performing school in the district, but it is also not the lowest-performing. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are generally in line with the other Kyrene district schools, but it has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 12.53% in 2021-2022 to 22.8% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
