Summary

Luke Elementary School in Glendale, Arizona, serves 702 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in the Dysart area. Its results are mixed: all-grades English language arts (ELA) and math are just above the state averages, but ELA is below the district and math is below both the district and nearby-school average. Results also vary noticeably by grade. The clearest takeaway is that science—especially in eighth grade—is the school’s strongest comparative result.

ELA is a relative strength locally: 44% of students are proficient, compared with 41% statewide, 46% in the Dysart Unified District, and a 39% average among nearby schools with reported results. Math is weaker by comparison: Luke’s 34% is just above the 33% state result, but below the district’s 40% and the nearby-school average of 37%. Science stands out: Luke scored 44% in both fifth and eighth grade, beating state results by 10 and 14 points, respectively, and the district by 1 and 2 points. Eighth-grade ELA and math are also strong locally, while third-grade math and sixth-grade ELA and math are notable weak spots.

Science results improved overall across the three reported years: fifth-grade proficiency rose from 34% to 44%, and eighth-grade proficiency from 34% to 44%, though eighth grade dipped before its latest result. SchoolDigger ranked Luke 475th of 900 Arizona schools in 2025–26, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile fell 8 points from the prior year and is close to the nearby-school median of 50. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for female students fell from the 55th percentile in 2023–24 to the 35th in 2025–26, while male students ranked at the 31st percentile most recently, compared with 47 overall; these rankings describe how well the school serves each group relative to that group at other schools. Luke’s student-teacher ratio was 18.9, close to the nearby-school average of 17.9, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 54.9% in 2022–23. ELA and math results are available for only one year, so trends in those subjects cannot be assessed.
