Summary

Shumway Leadership Academy is an elementary school located in Chandler, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 483 students. The school is part of the Chandler Unified District #80, which is ranked 105 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively well-performing district, Shumway Leadership Academy has consistently ranked in the lower half of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 502 and 804 out of around 1,000 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, underperforming the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in Mathematics. Shumway Leadership Academy's performance is also below average for student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Chandler Traditional Academy - Liberty Campus, Knox Gifted Academy, and Islands Elementary School significantly outperform Shumway Leadership Academy in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, some nearby charter schools, such as Champion Chandler and Legacy Traditional School - North Chandler, also struggle with academic performance, indicating that the challenges faced by Shumway Leadership Academy may not be unique to the public school system.
