Summary

Destiny School is a K–8 school in Globe, Arizona, with 376 students. Its strongest headline is its latest all-grade test performance: 53% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 47% in math, both above Arizona’s results.

Destiny’s ELA rate is 12 percentage points above the state’s 41%, and its math rate is 14 points above the state’s 33%; both rates match those of the Destiny School Inc. district. It also stands well above nearby schools: their reported all-grade ELA results ranged from 9% to 21%, averaging about 15%, while the three reported math results ranged from 7% to 12%, averaging 9%. At the grade level, seventh grade is a standout: Destiny had 74% proficiency in ELA and 58% in math, compared with state rates of 43% and 27%. Sixth-grade math is the clearest weakness: 28% proficiency was below both Destiny’s 47% all-grade rate and the state’s 30% rate.

Destiny’s SchoolDigger overall ranking has slipped from the 86th percentile and 4 stars in 2021–22 to the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26; it currently ranks 355th of 900 schools. Science trends are mixed: grade-5 proficiency stayed at 34% in 2022–23 and 2023–24, while grade-8 science rose from 31% to 43%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show stronger standing for students with low socioeconomic status: the group ranked at the 81st percentile in 2025–26, compared with 61st overall. The Female Students ranking fell sharply, from the 83rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 45th in 2025–26, below the school’s overall percentile.
