While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For example, Academy Del Sol - Star Valley students from Hispanic and Native American backgrounds perform relatively better, ranking in the top half of Arizona schools. However, female students, white students, and students with special needs or low socioeconomic status perform much worse, often ranking in the bottom quarter of schools.

This school is amazing. I had a hard time finding a kindergarten for my son and I am so thankful I found this school. His teacher is amazing and although they push the students, it is for the best and never goes too far. Close Quote
