Paulden Community School

Summary:

Paulden Community School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Paulden, Arizona, part of the Chino Valley Unified District. With a student population that has become more diverse in recent years, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, ranking, and supporting its high-needs student population.

Paulden Community School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates below the state average in all subject areas and grade levels. The school ranks in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools and has seen a concerning increase in dropout rates in recent years. Despite spending $10,306 per student, which is higher than nearby Territorial Early Childhood Center and Del Rio Elementary School, the data suggests these resources are not effectively translating into improved student outcomes.

Interestingly, Paulden Community School's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with Hispanic students outperforming their White peers. This suggests the school may be more effective in supporting its Hispanic student population. However, the school's overall academic performance still lags behind nearby district schools, highlighting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational model and strategies to better support all of its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
