Summary

Montessori Education Centre Charter School - Mesa is a K–7 school in Mesa, Arizona, with 255 students—the smallest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–2026 results are strong across subjects: 74% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 61% in math, while fifth-grade science proficiency reached 79% in 2024–2025. The most important finding is that the school’s results are well above state and nearby-school averages, with science standing out especially strongly.

Across the nearby schools, Montessori ranks third in all-grades ELA and math. Its ELA proficiency of 74% is 29 points above the nearby-school average of 45%; its math result of 61% is 23 points above the average of 38%. Both subjects also exceed results for the Montessori Education Centre Charter School district (69% ELA and 55% math) and Arizona overall (41% ELA and 33% math). Science is the school’s strongest result relative to state and district figures: its 79% fifth-grade proficiency is 45 points above the state and 10 points above its district, and leads the eight nearby schools with reported scores. Results vary by grade, however: fourth-grade ELA is 65%, below the school’s other reported ELA grades, while third-grade math at 52% is 1 point below the nearby average. Fourth-grade math is much stronger at 67%, 22 points above its nearby-school average.

Fifth-grade science has improved, rising from 70% in 2022–2023 to 79% in 2024–2025; the school’s advantage over the state grew from 36 to 45 points. ELA and math trends cannot be assessed from the single year of results provided. SchoolDigger places the school at the 89th statewide percentile with 4 stars, third among the 11 schools compared, though its percentile is 7 points below its 2023–2024 peak of 96. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is close to the nearby average of 15.1, not unusually low. SchoolDigger’s female-student percentile fell from 96 in 2023–2024 to 79 in 2025–2026, a 17-point drop; the latest figure is 10 points below the school’s overall percentile. Its Hispanic-student percentile also fell, from 93 in 2020–2021 to 77 in 2022–2023, a 16-point decline.
