Summary:
Synergy Public School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, with a diverse student population of 595 students, the majority of whom are Hispanic (82.52%). The school is part of the Synergy Public School Inc. district, which is ranked 452 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Synergy Public School consistently performs below the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 13% of 5th graders and 16% of 8th graders were proficient or better in science, compared to the state averages of 34% and 27%, respectively. In English Language Arts, proficiency rates ranged from 15% to 41% across grades, well below the state averages of 37% to 45%. In Mathematics, proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 2% to 19%, compared to the state averages of 27% to 43%. The school has a very low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools, and its performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.
The nearby schools, such as Empower College Prep, Ocotillo School, and Cordova Elementary School, generally perform better than Synergy Public School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that Synergy Public School may be struggling to provide a quality education compared to its peers in the local area. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-income families (78.82% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) likely contributes to its academic struggles, as research has shown that poverty can be a significant barrier to student achievement.
