Summary

Nevitt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 648 students. The school is part of the Tempe School District, which is ranked 189 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nevitt Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Tempe School District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 31% for the district and 34% for the state. The school's rankings for various student subgroups, such as female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and special education students, are consistently in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, Nevitt Elementary School has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 32.5% in 2021-2022 to 71.94% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Nevitt Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from a high of 403 out of 1,079 Arizona elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 757 out of 909 in 2024-2025. This trend indicates that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. The nearby schools in the Tempe School District, such as Frank Elementary, Holdeman Elementary, and Wood School, also perform below the state average in academic measures, suggesting a broader systemic issue within the district. However, the charter school Phoenix International Academy, which is located within a similar geographic area, consistently outperforms Nevitt Elementary and the district in academic achievement.
