Summary

Frye Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chandler, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 540 students. While part of the Chandler Unified District #80, which is ranked 105 out of 289 districts in Arizona, Frye Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

Frye Elementary's student subgroups, such as female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and White students, all rank in the bottom half or bottom quarter of their respective statewide subgroup rankings. The school's performance is particularly concerning for Hispanic and male students, who rank in the bottom 50% and bottom 25% of their statewide subgroups, respectively. Additionally, Frye Elementary has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 42.59% in 2021-2022 to 83.91% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Frye Elementary to other nearby schools within the Chandler Unified District, such as Hartford Sylvia Encinas Elementary, Chandler Traditional Academy-Humphrey, and Sanborn Elementary, it becomes clear that Frye Elementary is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Despite increased spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Frye Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the years, remaining in the bottom half or quarter of Arizona elementary schools.
