Summary

Kingswood Elementary School serves 826 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Surprise, Arizona, and is part of Dysart Unified District. Its all-grades results are close to Arizona averages, but the school’s clearest concern is that its scores trail the averages at nearby schools.

Science is Kingswood’s strongest subject compared with the state: in 2024–2025, grade 5 proficiency was 46% versus 34% statewide, and grade 8 was 38% versus 30%. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA was 42% and math was 34%, just above state results of 41% and 33%, but below district results of 46% and 40%. Nearby-school averages were 53% in ELA and 44% in math. Results vary by grade: grade 5 ELA was just 21%, below the state’s 38% and district’s 41%, and below every nearby school with a reported result (29% to 79%). In contrast, grade 3 math was 59% versus 38% statewide, and grade 8 ELA was 55% versus 39%.

SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 70th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 46th percentile in 2025–2026, a 24-point drop; the latest result is below the nearby-school average of the 62nd percentile. SchoolDigger gives Kingswood 2 stars, compared with 3 stars for the district. Its 17.5 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was below the nearby-school median of 18.4, though the ratio and test scores are from different school years. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show notable differences: in 2022–2023, English Language Learner students had a 95th-percentile ranking, compared with 70th overall, while in 2025–2026 the ranking for White students was at the 14th percentile, compared with 46th overall. These are comparative rankings for groups, not measures of individual students.

Open Quote Not super thrilled with certain things or people in the school and if it wasn't for a few really awesome teachers I would REALLY dislike this school. Ms. Hughes and Mrs. Morgan are some seriously GREAT teachers! Pick up and drop off is a zoo due to some stupid parents who apparently think they are busier/or more important than anyone else. While the school nurse is typically easy to get along with, my son had gotten sick recently and went to see her only to be sent back to class to be miserable the rest of the day. You could tell he was not well just looking at him and had she only taken the few seconds to take his temp she would have seen it was up since by the time I got him it was over 103!

If you move here and find yourself putting your children in this school I hope you get these awesome teachers. Close Quote
