Greenway Primary School

Summary:

Greenway Primary School is an elementary school located in Bisbee, Arizona, serving 212 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bisbee Unified District, which is ranked 392 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenway Primary School faces significant challenges compared to other Arizona elementary schools. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (76.42%) than the state average, and its academic performance consistently lags behind state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, only 12-32% of Greenway students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41-45%, and only 13-31% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39-43%. The school's overall ranking has been in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, between 642-949 out of around 1,200 schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenway Primary School's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Arizona elementary schools for these groups. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (76.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's student-teacher ratio has improved in recent years, its academic performance and statewide ranking have declined over the past decade, with the school dropping from a 3-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 1-star rating in recent years. Nearby schools, such as Coronado Elementary School and Mcneal Elementary School, have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and better statewide rankings.

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.
