Summary

Holiday Park School is an elementary school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 583 students. The school is part of the Cartwright Elementary District, which is ranked 262 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holiday Park School consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36% statewide. The school's mathematics proficiency rates ranged from 22% to 34% across grades 3-6, significantly lower than the state averages of 37% to 42%. Additionally, Holiday Park School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years.

The nearby schools within the Cartwright Elementary District, such as Heatherbrae School and Sunset School, also perform poorly compared to the state averages, but they generally outperform Holiday Park School in academic metrics and school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Holiday Park School may be systemic within the district. Despite increased per-student spending over the years, the school has not seen significant improvements in academic outcomes, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and resource allocation.
