San Simon School

Summary:

San Simon School is an alternative public school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 98 students in San Simon, Arizona, as part of the San Simon Unified District. The school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, reaching 100% in 2018-2019, and very low dropout rates, which are significantly better than the state average. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions, such as the 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate exceeding the state average.

San Simon School has seen significant fluctuations in its per-student spending, ranging from $3,984 in 2019-2020 to $22,492 in 2021-2022, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has also fluctuated, from 12.28% in 2021-2022 to 73.47% in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be serving a population with increasing economic challenges.

While San Simon School has some strengths, such as its high graduation rates and low dropout rates, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance across grade levels. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better support its students and improve their educational outcomes.

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.
