Roberts Naylor

Summary:

Roberts Naylor is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 537.

The data analysis of Roberts Naylor reveals several areas of concern. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools, with poor performance reflected in test scores that are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in dropout rates, rising from 4.2% in 2018-2019 to 14.0% in 2021-2022. The school's challenges appear to be exacerbated by the high poverty levels of its student population, with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Tucson Unified District, such as Borman K-8 School and Lineweaver Elementary School, Roberts Naylor generally performs worse academically. The school's performance for students in special education and English Language Learner subgroups is mixed, with the former performing relatively better and the latter performing worse. Interestingly, the school's homeless students performed relatively well, suggesting the school may be providing effective support for this vulnerable population.

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.
