Summary

Moon Mountain School is an elementary school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 488 students. It is part of the Washington Elementary School District, which is ranked 212 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Moon Mountain School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Moon Mountain School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 36% statewide. In mathematics, the proficiency rate for 6th graders was just 23%, compared to 29% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Moon Mountain School to other nearby schools in the Washington Elementary School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For instance, Lookout Mountain School, which is just 1.73 miles away, consistently outperforms Moon Mountain School across all academic measures and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, Moon Mountain School has not shown consistent improvement in its academic performance or overall school ranking over the past decade, suggesting a need for more targeted strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning.
