Summary

Galveston Elementary School serves 518 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Chandler, Arizona, within Chandler Unified District #80. Its latest results show a broad academic challenge: in 2025–26, 19% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 17% in math. The most important finding is that both results are well below state and district levels, especially ELA.

Galveston is weakest in ELA compared with the state, district, and nearby same-district schools: its 19% proficiency was 22 percentage points below the state’s 41% and 39 points below the district’s 58%, and below every nearby Chandler Unified school, whose results ranged from 25% to 92%. Math is relatively stronger, but still low: 17% proficiency was 16 points below the state and 34 below the district. Among six nearby Chandler Unified schools, excluding Knox Gifted Academy, average proficiency was 30% in ELA and 20% in math; Galveston was 11 and 3 points lower, respectively. Its ELA results were also the lowest among nearby district schools in each reported grade from 3 through 6.

Galveston’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile fell from 17 in 2024–25 to 3 in 2025–26, and its rating dropped from 1 star to 0; its current percentile is the lowest among the nearby schools in the supplied data. Its grade 5 science proficiency rose from 17% to 19% between 2022–23 and 2023–24, but remained below the state’s 34% and district’s 48%. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 13.9, below the nearby median of 14.6, while 87% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022–23; these figures are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure placed the school at the 91st percentile for serving African American students in 2021–22, versus 29th overall that year; for English Language Learner students, its percentile fell from 73 in 2017–18 to 24 in 2022–23. Grade 4 and 6 math results are suppressed, and nearby science results are from a different year.
