Summary:
Espiritu Community Development Corp. has one listed school, Reyes Maria Ruiz Leadership Academy, serving prekindergarten through grade 6, with 331 students. The available 2025–2026 English Language Arts (ELA) and math results cover grades 3–6, while the science result is from grade 5 in 2024–2025. The most important finding is a clear split by subject: the school’s all-grades math proficiency is above Arizona’s, while ELA proficiency is below it.
There are no local top and bottom schools to compare because this is the only school listed; its state comparisons show where it stands. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 44%, 11 percentage points above the state’s 33%, while ELA was 34%, 7 points below the state’s 41%. The grade-level results show math above the state in every tested grade, by 3 to 14 points; grade 6 had the largest advantage, at 44% versus 30%. ELA was at the state level in grade 3, but below it in grades 4–6, with the largest gap in grade 4: 30% versus 47%, or 17 points lower. In 2024–2025 grade 5 science, proficiency was 22%, compared with 34% statewide.
SchoolDigger’s ranking improved over the three listed years, but the supplied data does not show whether proficiency rose over time. The school moved from 604th of 912 schools (34th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 501st of 909 (45th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 460th of 900 (49th percentile) in 2025–2026—144 places and 15 percentile points higher than its first listed year. Its SchoolDigger rating remained 2 stars throughout. The reported student-teacher ratio is 11.5, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is provided; these figures offer context but do not explain the achievement results.
