Summary

T G Barr School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Roosevelt Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, with 386 students. The school is ranked 537 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, and the district is ranked 235 out of 289 in Arizona with a 1 out of 5 star rating.

T G Barr School consistently underperforms the district and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 18% in the district and 36% statewide. The school also has consistently high dropout rates, ranging from 2.5% to 6.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.48% to 99.72% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Roosevelt Elementary District, such as Irene Lopez School, Cloves C Campbell Senior Elementary School, and John F Kennedy Elementary School, also struggle with low test scores and high dropout rates, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. However, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Native American students performing relatively well, while other subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and Multi-racial students, perform much worse.
