Summary

Reid Traditional Schools’ Painted Rock Academy is a K–8 school in Phoenix serving 416 students. In 2025–26, 61% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 49% in math, both well above Arizona’s rates. Its strongest overall takeaway is that it outperformed nearby schools with reported all-grades results in both subjects.

ELA is the school’s clearest comparative strength: its 61% proficiency rate was 20 percentage points above Arizona and 29 points above the nearby-school average of 32%. In math, 49% proficiency was 16 points above the state and 19 points above the nearby average of 30%. The reported district results matched the school’s exactly—61% in ELA and 49% in math—so there is no school–district gap in the supplied figures. Results vary by grade, however: ELA was strongest in grades 6 and 8, at 70% and 71%, while grade 5 was a relative weak spot at 47%.

Fifth-grade science stands out as a strength that improved overall, rising from 53% in 2022–23 to 61% in 2024–25, an 8-point gain; the latest result was 27 points above Arizona. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile was 72nd in 2025–26, down 9 points from the prior year, though still the highest among nearby schools with reported percentiles; its rating was 4 stars, compared with 1 to 3 stars for nearby schools with current ratings. The student–teacher ratio was 13.4, below the nearby average of 15.5. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Male Students fell from the 80th percentile in 2024–25 to the 56th in 2025–26, while its White Students ranking rose from the 71st to the 94th percentile between 2023–24 and 2024–25. Nearby schools often serve fewer grades, and free/reduced-lunch rates are unavailable for these schools.

This school is a great school, by Arizona standards. I don't always agree with their level of communication to the Parents, but I know they take Academics (and discipline) VERY seriously. I just wish Every Friday was a Casual Friday, or two Dress-down Fridays each month for Morale. I am glad my child studies here, but am afraid that the Spalding language learning might hinder her in middle & high school, if we can't stay the full boat till 8th Grade! Close Quote
