Summary:
Maricopa Institute of Technology is the only school listed in Estrella Educational Foundation; it serves grades 9–12 and has 421 students. Its clearest strength is 11th-grade English Language Arts (ELA): 58% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 38% statewide, a 20-point advantage.
With only one school in the area, there is no top-versus-bottom school comparison; the school’s results are strongest relative to the state in ELA and science, and closest to the state in math. Across all grades in 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 58% at the school versus 41% statewide, a 17-point difference; math was 35% versus 33%, a 2-point difference. In 11th grade, math proficiency was 35% versus 31% statewide, a 4-point difference, while 2024–25 science proficiency was 33% versus 19%, a 14-point difference. The 2024–25 dropout rate was about 5% at both the school and statewide, and about 6% in the district—roughly 1 point higher than the school.
SchoolDigger’s ranking history moved lower over the three reported years: from 53rd of 270 schools and the 80th percentile in 2023–24 to 82nd of 256 and the 68th percentile in 2025–26. That is 29 places lower and a 12-point percentile decline, although the latest test results are above state rates. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 14.1. Its reported graduation rate was 95% in 2021–22; the district’s newer 2024–25 rate was 96%, compared with 80% statewide, so that district result should not be taken as the school’s current rate. Because the area has one school and the available test results do not form a multiyear series, the data cannot show how schools compare with one another or whether proficiency has risen or fallen.
