Happy Valley East

Happy Valley East has one school, Happy Valley School East Campus, an elementary school serving kindergarten through grade 6, with 396 students. Its 2025–26 results show a stronger relative profile in English language arts (ELA) than in math: ELA proficiency is 41%, matching Arizona, while math proficiency is 25%, compared with 33% statewide. The most important finding is that math is below the state in every tested grade, with the largest gaps in grades 3 and 4.

There is no second school in the area to rank as a local leader or laggard; within this campus, ELA is the stronger subject overall, while math is the clearest concern. ELA proficiency is 3 percentage points above the state in grades 3, 5, and 6, but 7 points below in grade 4 (40% versus 47%). Math is below the state by 14 points in both grade 3 (24% versus 38%) and grade 4 (26% versus 40%); the gaps are 6 points in grade 5 and 9 points in grade 6. The single available grade 5 science result is also below the state: 28% versus 34% in 2024–25.

SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking has been fairly steady: the campus ranked in the 41st percentile in 2023–24, 39th in 2024–25, and 40th in 2025–26. Its rank was 541 of 912 schools in the first year and 544 of 900 in the latest year, so the percentile gives a clearer picture of its broadly stable standing. The school has an 18:1 student–teacher ratio; a free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported. Ranking changes do not show whether test scores improved, and the supplied results do not provide a multi-year score trend.
