Summary

David Crockett Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 517 students in grades PK-6 in the Balsz Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona. The school is located in a low-income area, with 92.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite serving a high-need student population, David Crockett Elementary School consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of 4th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 46% statewide, and only 15% were proficient in math, compared to 40% statewide. This pattern of low academic achievement is seen across grade levels and subject areas, leading the school to be ranked 814 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby schools in the Balsz Elementary District, David Crockett Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Brunson-Lee Elementary School had 21% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 25% at David Crockett. This suggests that the challenges faced by David Crockett Elementary may be systemic within the district, and the school may need targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes.
