Morgan Maxwell School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Morgan Maxwell School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 452 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, making up 73.23% of the student population.

Despite its diverse student population, Morgan Maxwell School has consistently underperformed compared to the Tucson Unified District and the state of Arizona in academic assessments. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade, only 16% of students were proficient in ELA and 2% were proficient in Math, compared to the state averages of 37% and 27%, respectively. The school has a very low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, and its performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students.

When comparing Morgan Maxwell School to other nearby schools in the Tucson Unified District, such as Davis Bilingual Magnet School and Carrillo Intermediate Magnet School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. These nearby magnet schools have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, suggesting that the magnet school model may be providing additional resources and support that are benefiting student outcomes.
