Summary

Tavan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 603 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Scottsdale Unified District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 30-40% of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tavan Elementary School's academic performance is generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, with 64% of 5th-grade students proficient or better compared to 65% for the district and 37% for the state. The school also has a strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, Native American, and White students, who consistently rank in the top 25-30% of their respective subgroups statewide. Tavan's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools, Hopi Elementary School, also in the Scottsdale Unified District, stands out as a high-performing school that consistently ranks in the top 10% of Arizona elementary schools. In contrast, schools in the Creighton Elementary District and Balsz Elementary District generally have lower academic performance and higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The nearby Great Hearts Academies - Archway Cicero charter school also has a strong academic performance, ranking in the top 20% of Arizona elementary schools.
