Stanfield Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Stanfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Stanfield, Arizona, with a student population of 403. The school is part of the Stanfield Elementary District, which is ranked 488 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanfield Elementary School faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools, with only 6-25% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37-45%. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 4.9% to 14.4% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students (84.86%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school spends significantly more per student ($11,908 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Comparing Stanfield Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Cottonwood Elementary, Santa Cruz Elementary, and Maricopa Elementary, suggests that the broader region may be struggling with similar challenges, but Stanfield's performance is particularly concerning. These nearby schools generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
