Summary

Mitchell Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the Isaac Elementary District, which is ranked 274 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mitchell Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 785 to 1060 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15-28% of Mitchell students were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 36-46%. The school's performance on the AzSCI science assessment is also low, with only 18% of 5th-grade students proficient in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 34%. Despite the school's relatively higher per-student spending compared to the district average, the academic performance of Mitchell Elementary School remains significantly below state and district levels.

When comparing Mitchell Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Isaac Elementary District, a similar pattern of consistent underperformance is observed. The nearby schools, such as Joseph Zito Elementary, Alta E. Butler, and P.T. Coe Elementary, also perform poorly, with rankings in the bottom 20-30% of Arizona elementary schools. The consistent underperformance across the district suggests a systemic challenge that requires a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address the issues and provide a high-quality education for all students.
