Summary:

The Dysart Unified District in Arizona is home to 20 elementary schools serving grades PK-8, with student enrollments ranging from 470 to 1,134. The district as a whole is ranked 132 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out as top performers, including Freedom Traditional Academy, which ranks 22nd out of 909 elementary schools in Arizona and has exceptional test scores, with 65-95% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 65-94% proficient in Mathematics. Other high-performing schools include Canyon Ridge School, Marley Park Elementary, and Western Peaks Elementary, all of which are ranked in the top 245 elementary schools in the state and have strong academic performance.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps within the district, with some schools struggling to achieve proficiency rates as low as 14-25% in certain subjects and grade levels. The district's overall dropout rate of 5.2% is also on the higher end compared to state averages. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to quality education should be a key priority for the Dysart Unified District.
