Summary

Kyrene de la Esperanza School is an elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 429 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Kyrene Elementary District. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, its current ranking of 433 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year indicates academic performance generally below the district and state averages.

Kyrene de la Esperanza School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, lags behind other Kyrene Elementary District schools in the area, such as Kyrene de la Mirada School and Kyrene Monte Vista School, which consistently outrank it. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 20.13% in 2021-2022 to 39.83% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

To address these challenges, the school and district may need to explore strategies to improve instructional practices, provide targeted support for struggling students, and address the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning. By focusing on these areas, Kyrene de la Esperanza School can work to improve its academic performance and better serve the needs of its diverse student population.
