George Washington Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

George Washington Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Snowflake, Arizona, with a student population of 203. The school is part of the Edkey Inc. - Sequoia Village School district, which is ranked 375 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Washington Academy stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and math. The school outperforms the Edkey Inc. - Sequoia Village School district and the state of Arizona in several key test score metrics. For example, in 5th grade science, George Washington Academy had 57% proficiency compared to 35% for the district and 34% for the state. However, the school has seen a fluctuating dropout rate, ranging from 0% to 7.2%, which is an area of concern. Additionally, George Washington Academy has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Show Low Preschool, Nikolaus Homestead Elementary School, and Highland Primary School, George Washington Academy stands out as a relatively high-performing school, particularly in science and math. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, which is not fully representative of the racial diversity in the surrounding area, and could be an area for the school to focus on in terms of outreach and inclusivity.
