Summary

Vista College Preparatory - Metro North Middle is a small Phoenix school serving 188 students in grades 5–8. In 2025–26, 32% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), compared with 20% in math. The most important concern is math: results were below the district, the state and the average for nearby schools.

ELA is the stronger subject compared with nearby schools, though results remain below the state overall: 32% were proficient, versus 30% in the district and 41% statewide, and the nearby-school average was 30%. Math was 20%, compared with 32% in the district, 33% statewide and a 22% nearby-school average; only four of the 10 nearby schools had lower math results. Eighth grade shows a brighter picture: ELA proficiency was 40%, above the state’s 39% and the district’s 35%, and higher than eight of nine nearby eighth-grade results. Eighth-grade math was 29%, above the nearby average of 25% but below the district’s 37% and the state’s 30%.

The available scores do not show whether results are improving or declining: there is only one year of ELA and math results for comparison. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 45th percentile statewide, with 2 stars, the second-highest percentile among nine nearby schools with rankings. Its Low Socio Economic Status student ranking was higher: the 59th percentile, or rank 135 of 328, with 3 stars, compared with the school’s overall rank of 296 of 536. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.4, tied for the lowest reported locally with Shea Middle School; that low ratio did not correspond to the strongest scores in the comparison. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 73% in 2022–23, and nearby comparison data were unavailable.
