Among the schools in the district, Peralta Trail Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 424 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and receiving a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Peralta Trail has significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages.
