Summary:

Avondale Elementary District includes nine schools—eight elementary schools and one middle school—serving grades PK–8 across different grade spans; eight have 2025–26 all-grades results, while Lattie Coor does not. The clearest area-wide pattern is that grade-matched averages are below state results in grades 3–6, but above them in grades 7–8.

Wildflower Accelerated Academy is the strongest all-grades performer, with 54% proficient in ELA and 41% in math—13 and 8 percentage points above state results. It also exceeds the other seven schools’ averages by 21 points in ELA and 14 in math. At the other end, Avondale Middle School has 19% ELA and 11% math, 22 points below the state in each subject. The grade-level picture has exceptions: Desert Star leads grade 3 in both subjects, while Centerra Mirage STEM Academy stands out with 60% in grade 5 math.

SchoolDigger rankings changed in different directions: four schools’ percentiles rose and four fell from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while the unweighted average slipped from 33 to 30. Desert Star gained 11 percentile points; Michael Anderson and Wildflower each lost 13. SchoolDigger gives most schools two stars, Michael Anderson and Eliseo C. Felix School one, and Avondale Middle none. Staffing figures do not show a simple performance pattern: Copper Trails has a 28.7 student-teacher ratio and above-state results in both subjects, while Michael Anderson has a lower 22.5 ratio but below-state results. Free/reduced-lunch figures were not provided.
