Summary:

Kyrene de la Colina School's academic performance has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were generally lower than the district and state. However, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's 4th grade proficiency rates in these subjects were higher than the district and state. The school's performance in science has also been lower than the district and state. Over the years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 222 out of 1,106 Arizona elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 458 out of 904 in 2023-2024.

Compared to other schools in the Kyrene Elementary District, such as Kyrene de los Cerritos School and Kyrene Monte Vista School, which consistently rank in the top 10-20% of Arizona elementary schools, Kyrene de la Colina School's performance is generally lower. However, the school still outperforms Cloves C. Campbell Senior Elementary School, which is part of the Roosevelt Elementary District. The school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the declining performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
