Summary:
Continental Elementary District has one listed school, Continental Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8, with 643 students. Its 2025–26 all-grades results are above Arizona’s in both English language arts (ELA) and math: 48% versus 41% in ELA, and 41% versus 33% in math. The most important finding is that these overall strengths hide a clear sixth-grade dip, with results below the state in both subjects.
Because this is the only school in the list, it is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school by default; there is no school-to-school comparison. Within the school, the strongest results relative to Arizona are eighth-grade math, where 47% are proficient versus 30% statewide, and seventh-grade ELA, at 59% versus 43%. Sixth grade is the main concern: ELA is 32% versus 41% statewide, while math is 25% versus 30%. Other grades are at or above state results in both subjects, though fourth-grade math matches the state at 40%, and fourth-grade ELA is just 1 point higher, at 48% versus 47%.
The available figures show variation by grade, but they do not show whether test scores are improving or declining over time. SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentile edges down from 58 in 2023–24 to 55 in 2025–26, with its rank moving 16 places lower; its district rating is 3 stars, ranked 117 out of 267 districts at the 56th percentile. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 16.9:1, and reported spending is $11,264 per student; free/reduced-lunch data are not available. Science results are mixed: grade 5 is 2 points below Arizona, while grade 8 is 7 points above.
