Summary:

The Isaac Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, consists of 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 274 out of 289 districts in Arizona and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Joseph Zito Elementary School has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 609 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and receiving a 2-star rating. It also has the highest proficiency rates in several subjects compared to the district and state averages. Esperanza Elementary School has the second-highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 778 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating. Additionally, the Isaac Online Prep Academy, a virtual school, has a statewide ranking of 630 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools and a 2-star rating, which is relatively high compared to the other schools in the district.

However, the district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages, with consistently lower test scores and statewide rankings across all grade levels and subjects. The middle schools in the district, Pueblo Del Sol Middle School, Morris K. Udall Escuela de Bellas Artes, and Isaac Middle School, all have a 5.2% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. The district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality and equitable education to its students, and there are opportunities for improvement across the board.
