Summary

Audrey & Robert Ryan Elementary serves 523 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in Chandler, Arizona, as part of Chandler Unified District #80. In 2025–26, 58% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 51% in math—both matching the district and exceeding state results by 17 and 18 points. But compared with eight nearby schools serving the same grades, Ryan’s ELA and math results were 7 and 11 points below their averages, and Ryan ranked third-lowest among the nine schools in both subjects.

Science is Ryan’s strongest nearby comparison: 63% of 5th graders were proficient in 2024–25, 15 points above the district and 29 above the state. That result was 9 points above the nearby-school average and second-highest among the nine schools. Fourth grade is a clear weak spot: ELA proficiency was 51%, the lowest among nearby same-span schools, and math was 43%, second-lowest; both results were 12 points below the district. Sixth grade was stronger, with 68% proficient in ELA and 58% in math. Overall, Ryan’s ELA and math results are solidly above state levels but lag local schools, while science stands out as a strength.

Ryan’s SchoolDigger statewide standing has declined from its earlier high: its percentile fell from 94 in 2022–23 to 73 in 2025–26, and its rating changed from five stars to four. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Ryan serves male students ranked the school at the 46th percentile in 2025–26, down from 82 in 2023–24; its overall percentile fell from 85 to 73 over that span. For White students, the ranking was at the 32nd percentile, compared with 73 overall, and down from 60 in 2023–24. Ryan’s student–teacher ratio was 14.8 in 2024–25, slightly below the nearby-school average of 15.5; this is useful context, but does not explain the test-score differences.
