Summary

In Phoenix, ASU Preparatory Academy - Phoenix 7-12 serves 360 students in grades 7–12. Its clearest challenge is proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and math: in 2025–26, 28% were proficient in ELA, compared with 40% in the district and 41% statewide; math proficiency was 16%, versus 27% and 33%. The same gap appears in each reported grade: for example, 7th-grade ELA was 30% versus 43% statewide, and math was 13% versus 27%. The most important finding is that math—and, more broadly, both tested subjects—remains well behind state and district levels.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA is a relative strength over math, but neither stands out as strong: among seven nearby schools with all-grades results, ASU Prep’s ELA result was fourth-lowest and its math result second-lowest. In 11th grade, its ELA proficiency of 23% and math proficiency of 19% were each second-lowest among seven nearby schools reporting results. Science is stronger against the state and district: 11th-grade proficiency was 20% in 2024–25, matching the district and 1 point above the state. But it was below the 34% average for four nearby schools reporting science, including 55% at Phoenix Union Bioscience High School.

SchoolDigger ranked the school 191 of 256 Arizona schools in 2025–26, at the 25th percentile and 1 star. Its percentile fell 42 points from 67 in 2020–21, including a 6-point drop in the latest year. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 12.8, below the nearby-school average of 16.3 and the third-lowest among those schools; this did not coincide with higher reported proficiency. Earlier SchoolDigger student-group rankings varied sharply: the school ranked at the 95th percentile for how effectively it served Asian students in 2021–22, versus the 56th percentile overall, while its ranking for multiracial students was at the 17th percentile. These subgroup figures are from earlier years, and current figures are not provided.
