Summary

Osborn Middle School is a public middle school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 438 students in grades 7-8. Based on the data provided, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Osborn Middle School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in standardized tests, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were around 26-28% and 13-14%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 40-42% and 27%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking particularly low for Asian, African American, and Special Education students. Additionally, Osborn Middle School has consistently higher dropout rates compared to the state average, ranging from 4.4% to 6.1% over the past few years.

When comparing Osborn Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Madison Meadows School and Madison #1 Elementary School, both part of the Madison Elementary District, it becomes evident that Osborn Middle School is performing significantly worse in academic proficiency, ranking much lower in the state. This suggests that Osborn Middle School may face systemic challenges that need to be addressed, potentially related to the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.96% to 83.83% in recent years.

Osborn Middle is the ONLY school in greater Phoenix teaching Geometry during the school day. Geometry is a 10th grade class. Advanced math students can take Algebra in 7th or 8th grade, and receive 9th grade HS credit, they can then continue in Geometry in 8th grade. My kids can also continue the Spanish Dual Language and Ballet here. The music, band and choir are great too! Close Quote
