Summary

The Academy of Math and Science Avondale is a public charter elementary school serving 1,160 students in grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona. The school is part of the Academy of Mathematics and Science South Inc. district, which is ranked 216 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with test scores generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35% of 5th graders were proficient or better in science, compared to 34% for the district and the state. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 24-35% across grades, while the state average was 27-42%. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 5.2% to 6.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 50% of Arizona elementary schools for female, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students in both English language arts and math. However, the school performed better for Pacific Islander and White students, ranking in the top 25% of schools in those subgroups. The school's proximity to several other low-performing elementary schools in the Littleton Elementary District suggests the school may be serving a community with broader educational challenges.
