Sun Valley Elementary School

Public Grades K-6

Summary

Sun Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in San Luis, Arizona, serving 94 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Somerton Elementary District, which is ranked 338 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Sun Valley Elementary School has a unique student population that is 100% Hispanic, it generally underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school performs better in certain student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, suggesting that it may be effectively supporting the needs of these specific populations. Additionally, Sun Valley has a very low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients and a low student-teacher ratio, indicating that the school may have access to more resources and smaller class sizes compared to the surrounding Gadsden Elementary District and Somerton Elementary District schools.

Overall, Sun Valley Elementary School stands out from its neighboring schools in several key metrics, including its unique student demographic, variable academic performance across subgroups, and resource allocation. These findings provide valuable insights that could inform future school improvement efforts and resource allocation decisions to better support the academic needs of all students at Sun Valley Elementary School.
