Summary

Tres Rios Elementary School is a public school located in Tolleson, Arizona, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 630 students. The school is part of the Littleton Elementary District, which is ranked 240 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tres Rios Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking between 648-941 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years, and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tres Rios Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Littleton Elementary District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with gaps ranging from 5-15 percentage points. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 4.4% to 6.1% in recent years, which are higher than the state average. Additionally, Tres Rios Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools in the Littleton Elementary District.

The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as Native American students, performing relatively well, while others, such as female students and students with special needs, struggle significantly. This indicates that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these underperforming student groups. Additionally, Tres Rios Elementary is located in a district with several other low-performing schools, such as Dos Rios Elementary and Quentin Elementary, which also struggle with academic achievement and have high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that the challenges faced by Tres Rios Elementary may be systemic within the broader community and district.
