Summary:
The Young Scholars Academy is the only school listed in the Young Scholars Academy Charter School Corp., serving grades K–8 and enrolling 412 students. The clearest headline is that the school’s 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency rates were above Arizona’s in both reported subjects: 52% versus 41% in ELA and 45% versus 33% in mathematics.
Grade-level results show some notable strengths as well as an area to watch. In ELA, grade 8 was 72% proficient, 33 points above the state rate, while grade 5 matched the state at 38%. In mathematics, grade 4 was 63%, 23 points above the state, but grade 3 was 33%, 5 points below. Fifth-grade science is another exception: in 2024–2025, 26% were proficient at the school versus 34% statewide. Because the area has only one school, there is no local school-to-school leader or trailer; SchoolDigger’s ranking is relative and does not establish whether the school’s test scores changed over time.
SchoolDigger gives the school three stars and ranks it 347th of 900 Arizona schools, at the 61st percentile, for 2025–2026. Its ranking moved from 285th of 912 schools (69th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 316th of 909 (65th percentile) in 2024–2025, then to 347th, a 62-place drop and an 8-point decline in percentile standing across the period. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 20.6 in 2024–2025. For families, the main takeaway is that the school’s statewide ELA and math comparisons are positive overall, while grade-level differences—particularly grade 3 mathematics—and the below-state science result offer useful context when considering a child’s specific grade and subjects.
