Mobile Elementary School

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Mobile Elementary School is a small public school serving grades K-8 in Maricopa, Arizona, with a student population of just 30 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9:1. Despite its small size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, this school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic assessments, making it an exceptional educational institution in the area.

One of the key factors that sets Mobile Elementary apart is its exceptional academic performance. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 4, 5, and 8, as well as in Mathematics for grades 4 and 8. For example, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate was 75%, compared to the state's 37%. This suggests that the school is effectively supporting its students and providing a high-quality education, even with its small size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Another interesting aspect of Mobile Elementary is its high per-student spending, ranging from $44,857 to $60,117 over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Pima Butte Elementary ($10,102) and Santa Cruz Elementary ($10,872). This investment in resources, combined with the school's low student-teacher ratio, may be contributing factors to its exceptional academic performance. When compared to other schools in the Maricopa Unified School District, Mobile Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution that is effectively supporting its students and providing a quality education.
