Summary

Global Academy of Phoenix is a small elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Alhambra Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona. With 352 students, the school has seen fluctuating performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 380 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 723 out of 1226 in 2020-2021. Its overall rating by SchoolDigger is 3 out of 5 stars.

Global Academy of Phoenix generally outperforms the Alhambra Elementary District and the state of Arizona in terms of academic proficiency, with 49% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 19% and 28%, and the state's 36% and 42%, respectively. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, ranking 77 out of 289 Arizona elementary schools for its African American students in 2021-2022 and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in its dropout rates, rising from 5.4% in 2021-2022 to 16.4% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Global Academy of Phoenix outperforms the Alhambra Elementary District, it still lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ocotillo School and Academy of Math and Science Glendale, which are in different districts. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (58.54% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can impact student outcomes.
