Summary

Mayer Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Mayer Unified School District in Mayer, Arizona, with 349 students. The school has consistently underperformed the state average on standardized tests, with only 37% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 46%, and only 30% of 5th graders proficient in Math compared to the state average of 37%. Additionally, the school has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools for White students and Special Education students, while ranking in the top 30% for Hispanic students.

Mayer Elementary also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.8% to 6.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.79% to 92.76% over the past few years, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Compared to nearby schools, such as Skyview School, La Tierra Community School, and Liberty Traditional School, which generally outperform Mayer Elementary on test scores and other metrics, the data suggests that Mayer Elementary has significant room for improvement.

The inconsistent performance of Mayer Elementary, with the school's ranking among Arizona elementary schools fluctuating between the 500s and 900s, suggests a lack of sustained improvement efforts or challenges in addressing the school's underlying issues. Targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community engagement could be potential strategies to help the school make progress and better serve its students and community.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of education my son is receiving at Mayer Elementary. The teachers are amazing and go out of their way to ensure each child gets the assistance they need. The principal is very engaged and is very dedicated to her job. Close Quote
