Summary:
The Pendergast Elementary District in Arizona consists of 12 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 232 out of 289 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out as performing better than others. Garden Lakes Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 488 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in several academic areas, including science, English language arts, and mathematics. Copper King Elementary and Desert Mirage Elementary School also demonstrate strong performance in specific grade levels and subjects compared to the district and state.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools within the district. Some schools also show inconsistent performance across grade levels and subjects, suggesting a need for a more comprehensive and cohesive approach to curriculum and instruction. Additionally, the lack of data on free and reduced lunch rates limits the ability to fully understand the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student performance in the district.
