Summary

Estrella Vista Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Avondale, Arizona, serving 887 students as part of the Littleton Elementary District. Despite its location, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Estrella Vista's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Native American students performing relatively well, but the school struggling with its Hispanic, African American, and Special Education populations. The school also experiences high dropout rates, ranging from 3.3% to 6.1%, which are significantly higher than the state average. Proficiency rates on standardized tests are consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels, with projected rates of 15-43% in ELA and 17-37% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Littleton Elementary District, such as Littleton Elementary School and Collier Elementary School, Estrella Vista generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher dropout rates. These challenges may be influenced by a combination of socioeconomic factors, resource constraints, and potential staffing issues, as the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and a higher student-teacher ratio than nearby schools.
