Moya Elementary

Public Grades K-5

Summary

Moya Elementary is a public elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 379 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Isaac Elementary District, which is ranked 434 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moya Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools. The school's academic performance is well below state and district averages, with only 8% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41%. The school's 5th-grade students also struggle on the AzSCI/Science assessment, with only 8% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34%. Moya's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona elementary schools. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 87.6% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Isaac Elementary District, such as Esperanza Elementary, Mitchell Elementary, and J.B. Sutton Elementary, also perform poorly on academic assessments and have similar low-income student populations. However, some of these nearby schools perform slightly better than Moya Elementary, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Moya to learn from its peers and improve educational outcomes for its students.
