Summary:
The Salome Consolidated Elementary District in Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Salome Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.
Salome Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with its performance consistently and substantially below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 4th grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is just 17% compared to the state average of 45%. The school's performance in science (7% proficient) and mathematics (ranging from 8% to 54% proficient across grades) is also well below the state averages. Despite the school's high spending of $19,953 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting ineffective allocation and utilization of resources.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 70.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level may contribute to the school's academic struggles and the need for additional support and resources. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 731 out of 1,226 Arizona elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,127 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, further indicating the ongoing challenges the school faces in providing a high-quality education to its students.
