Le Pera Elementary School

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Le Pera Elementary School is a public elementary school in Parker, Arizona, serving 206 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic (57.77%) and Native American (37.38%) student population, with a high percentage (90.29%) of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Academically, Le Pera Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 12% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41% and the district average of 20%. The school's performance is particularly low for Native American students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools in this subgroup. Additionally, Le Pera Elementary School has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0% to 3.9% between the 2015-2016 and 2019-2020 school years.

In contrast, the nearby Wallace Elementary School and Blake Primary School, which are also part of the Parker Unified School District, perform better academically than Le Pera Elementary School, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Le Pera Elementary School may be unique or more pronounced within the district, despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ranging from $12,837 to $14,398 in recent years.
