Summary:
Northland Preparatory Academy is the only school in this area, serving grades 6–12 with 637 students and a student–teacher ratio of 13.5:1. Its strongest overall signal for parents is that reported proficiency is higher than Arizona’s in every listed subject and grade: all-grades ELA is 66% versus 41% statewide, and math is 50% versus 33%.
With only one school, there is no school-to-school top or bottom; the clearest differences are among its grades. Grade 7 leads in both ELA and math, with 76% proficient in ELA and 57% in math. Grade 8 has the lowest ELA result at 55%, while grade 6 has the lowest math result at 40%. Even those lower grade results exceed state figures: grade 8 ELA is 16 points higher, and grade 6 math is 10 points higher. Science is also above the state: grade 8 is 49% versus 30%, and grade 11 is 43% versus 19%.
SchoolDigger’s rankings show a high, fairly steady statewide position, but they do not establish a rise or fall in test scores: the school ranked 31st of 270 schools in 2023–24 (89th percentile, four stars), 24th of 271 in 2024–25 (91st percentile, five stars), and 26th of 256 in 2025–26 (90th percentile, five stars). The data includes just one year of ELA and math results and one year of science results, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported, so it cannot show test-score trends or support comparisons with other local schools.
