Harold W Smith School

Summary:

Harold W Smith School is an elementary school located in Glendale, Arizona, serving 772 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Glendale Elementary District, which is ranked 250 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harold W Smith School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools, with low performance on state assessments that is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28% in the district and 46% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and White students. Additionally, Harold W Smith School has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 2.8% over the past several years, which is higher than the state average.

The challenges faced by Harold W Smith School appear to be systemic within the Glendale Elementary District, as nearby schools such as Bicentennial South School, Challenger Middle School, and William C Jack School also perform poorly on state assessments and have similar demographic profiles. Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Harold W Smith School's per-student spending is comparable to or higher than the spending at nearby schools, suggesting that the school's academic struggles may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources.

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.
