Summary

Heatherbrae School is a Phoenix public elementary school serving 607 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade, in the Cartwright Elementary District. In 2025–26, 17% of students were proficient in both English language arts (ELA) and math. The most important finding is that both results trail the state, and ELA also falls notably below the district and nearby same-district schools.

Math is Heatherbrae’s relative strength, while ELA is its clearest weakness—but neither result is strong against the state. ELA proficiency was 7 percentage points below the district’s 24% and 24 points below the state’s 41%; it was also 11 points below the average for four same-district, same-grade-span peers. Math was 1 point below the district’s 18% and 16 points below the state’s 33%, and 11 points below the same-district peer average. Compared with nearby schools overall, Heatherbrae was 11 points below the ELA average and 7 below the math average. Its 17% math result was not the lowest nearby, however: three schools with reported scores were lower. At the grade level, third-grade math was 6 points above the district, while sixth-grade math was below the lowest reported nearby-school result.

Science proficiency has declined: fifth-grade results fell from 19% in 2022–23 to 14% in 2024–25, while the state stayed at 34%, widening the gap from 15 to 20 points. Heatherbrae’s 2024–25 science result was the lowest among seven nearby schools with reported scores. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 8th percentile statewide in 2025–26, with 0 stars—up from the 2nd percentile the year before, but well below its 49th-percentile standing in 2016–17. Enrollment and staffing are near nearby averages: the student-teacher ratio was 19.7, compared with 18.8 nearby; the 2022–23 free/reduced-lunch rate was 78%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a sharp decline in its measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students: from the 26th percentile in 2022–23 to the 1st in 2024–25. ELA and math proficiency are available for only one year, and subgroup rankings are available for selected years.
