Yucca Elementary School

Summary:

Yucca Elementary School is a small public school in Yucca, Arizona, serving grades K-8 with a student population of just 38 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a unique racial makeup, with a higher percentage of White students (71.05%) compared to the nearby Topock Elementary School (72.9%), and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (21.05% vs. 14.95%).

Academically, Yucca Elementary has shown mixed performance, outperforming the state average in some grade levels but underperforming in others. However, the school has demonstrated strong results for its Hispanic and low-income student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and 15% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively. The school's small student-teacher ratio of 8:1 may contribute to these successes, though the overall declining enrollment, from 38 students in 2022-2023 to just 24 in 2020-2021, could pose challenges for the school's long-term sustainability.

Compared to the larger Topock Elementary District, Yucca Elementary has experienced more fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from 915 out of 1,158 Arizona elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 411 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023. Additionally, Topock Elementary, with its larger student population and higher student-teacher ratio, has consistently outperformed Yucca Elementary in academic measures, suggesting that Yucca may face unique challenges in supporting its students' educational needs.

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.
