Summary

The Academy of Math and Science Peoria Advanced is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Peoria, Arizona. The school is part of the Academy of Mathematics and Science South Inc. district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranking as high as 366 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, and as low as 685 out of 1,226 in the 2020-2021 school year. Its overall rating from SchoolDigger has been 3 stars out of 5 for the past few years. The school generally outperforms its district and the state average in standardized test scores, particularly in science and English language arts. However, the school has struggled with the performance of certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with special needs.

Compared to nearby schools, the Academy of Math and Science Peoria Advanced has shown stronger performance, especially in science and English language arts. But some Peoria Unified School District schools, such as Oakwood Elementary and Oasis Elementary, have also demonstrated strong performance in certain grade levels and subject areas. The school's relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 2.7% to 6.1% over the past few years, are also a concern that may require further investigation.
