Summary:
The Choice Academies Inc. network lists two Arizona schools: Adams Traditional Academy, serving K–8, and Jefferson Preparatory High School, serving grades 7–12, with grades 7 and 8 overlapping. The clearest area-wide finding is that Adams’ reported ELA and math proficiency is above Arizona’s in every tested grade from 3 through 8, with gaps of at least 30 percentage points.
Adams Traditional Academy stands out for strong results across both subjects: 81% in ELA and 76% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide. Its strongest reported grade is fourth, at 92% in ELA and 94% in math; its lowest is third, at 71% and 68%, still 32 and 30 points above state results. Jefferson Preparatory High School stands out in its reported 11th-grade science result: 65% proficient versus 19% statewide, a 46-point gap. The results do not establish an overall top and bottom school: Jefferson’s ELA and math scores are suppressed, and its reported science grade differs from the grades reported for Adams.
SchoolDigger’s rank histories move toward better statewide positions for both schools, though they do not show whether test scores improved: Adams went from 63rd of 912 schools (93rd percentile) in 2023–2024 to 27th of 900 (97th percentile) in 2025–2026; Jefferson went from 85th of 464 (82nd percentile) in 2021–2022 to 14th of 271 (95th percentile) in 2024–2025. For families weighing school size and staffing, Adams enrolls 532 students and has a 15.4 student–teacher ratio, while Jefferson enrolls 49 and has a 4.9 ratio. Both have reported results well above state figures in the subjects and grades available, so these differences alone do not indicate which school is the better fit.
