Summary:
The Great Hearts Academies - North Phoenix Prep is the only school listed in the North Phoenix Preparatory Academy area. It serves grades 6–12 and has 662 students. The 2025–2026 results show the school above Arizona’s statewide proficiency rates in both reported subjects: 63% versus 41% in English Language Arts (ELA), and 48% versus 33% in math. Its most important strength is that it outperforms the state in both subjects, with a wider lead in ELA.
There is no meaningful top-versus-bottom comparison among schools because only one is listed; the school leads the group by default. Against the state, its strongest grade-level results are in 11th grade: 82% proficient in ELA versus 38% statewide, a 44-point advantage, and 70% in math versus 31%, a 39-point advantage. Its narrowest advantage is in 8th-grade math, where 36% are proficient compared with 30% statewide, a 6-point gap. The school is above the state in all reported grade-and-subject comparisons, but the size of that lead varies: its math advantage ranges from 24 points in grade 6 to 6 points in grade 8.
SchoolDigger’s rankings improved overall across the three years listed, though the middle year was weaker: the school was ranked 24th of 270 schools (91st percentile, five stars) in 2023–2024, 44th of 271 (84th percentile, four stars) in 2024–2025, and 11th of 256 (96th percentile, five stars) in 2025–2026. Those rankings show stronger recent relative standing, but the available AASA results cover only 2025–2026, so they cannot show whether test scores rose over time. The school reports a 14.9 student–teacher ratio; its free/reduced-lunch rate is not provided. Overall, the clearest choice-relevant pattern is strong performance in both subjects alongside a notably smaller state advantage in 8th-grade math.
