Elementary Schools in Benson Unified School District


Summary:

The Benson Unified School District in Arizona has one elementary school, Benson Primary School, which serves students from grades K-5. While the school has some positive attributes, such as its racial diversity and relatively high proficiency rates in certain subjects, it does not appear to be a standout performer in the district or the state of Arizona.

Academically, Benson Primary School has proficiency rates that are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in some areas, but it also faces challenges. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are relatively low, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. Additionally, the school's ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger have fluctuated over the past few years, with the school ranking in the middle of the pack among Arizona elementary schools.

Socioeconomic factors may also play a role in the school's performance, as a high percentage of students (53.93%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population. While the school's racial diversity is a positive attribute, it is important to note that the school's performance is not directly related to its racial makeup. Overall, Benson Primary School has room for improvement to better support student learning and achievement.
