Summary

Echo Canyon K-8 is a public elementary and middle school located in Scottsdale, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 344 students. The school is part of the Scottsdale Unified District, which is ranked 81 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Echo Canyon K-8 consistently performs below the Scottsdale Unified District and Arizona state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, the school does have some bright spots. For example, the school's performance is relatively better for certain student subgroups, such as African American and White students, who rank in the top 25% and top 30% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school struggles to support the academic needs of other subgroups, like English Language Learners and Military Connected students, who perform in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools.

Despite the significant increase in per-student spending at Echo Canyon K-8, from $8,636 in 2019-2020 to $11,745 in 2020-2021, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, and in some cases, has declined over the years. In comparison to nearby schools in the Scottsdale Unified District, such as Pima Elementary, Navajo Elementary, and Kiva Elementary, which consistently rank higher in the state and have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, Echo Canyon K-8 generally performs below average.

My family loves ANLC. I can sense the caring, trust, and respect that the teachers have for my boys. They have also taken the time to teach and facilitate social learning and accountability. ANLC's positive atmosphere and great sense of community is what every child needs to instill a strong foundation for a love of learning. It's a family school with a child-centered philosophy that is creating successful and competent learners. This school is truly a blessing for my children. Close Quote
