What stands out at Noah Webster Schools-Pima

Noah Webster Schools-Pima is a mid-sized charter elementary school in Scottsdale, Arizona, enrolling 251 students.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 48.8% lands close to the Arizona typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 251 puts it in the smaller third of Arizona schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 2,064 Arizona schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 128 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Arizona schools statewide, it ranks #126, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is led by American Indian / Alaska Native (47%) and Hispanic or Latino (36%) (diversity index 64/100).

Counselor access is stretched at roughly 628 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 70.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

Its district draws 30.5% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Scottsdale's elementary schools, it stands alongside Great Hearts Academies - Archway Scottsdale (1,079 students): Noah Webster Schools-Pima is smaller than that campus by headcount.

Noah Webster Schools-Pima (92374) is a single-school charter district, so Noah Webster Schools-Pima operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
