Summary:
The Littleton Elementary District in Arizona is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district's schools exhibit a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the majority across the schools. While some standout schools like Littleton Elementary School and Tres Rios Elementary School show relatively strong performance in certain grade levels and subject areas, the majority of the schools in the district struggle to meet state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
The data reveals significant performance disparities within the Littleton Elementary District. Littleton Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school, ranking the highest in the district for English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, with 8th-grade students scoring significantly above the district and state averages. In contrast, the LESD Online Academy, the district's virtual school, has the highest dropout rate at 6.0% despite its low student-teacher ratio and spending per student.
The data also suggests that the schools in the Littleton Elementary District may be facing challenges associated with serving high-poverty student populations, with many schools having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed across the district. Further investigation into the specific challenges and best practices of these schools could provide valuable insights to support student success and address the performance disparities within the Littleton Elementary District.
