Summary

Quartz Hill Elementary in Gilbert, Arizona, serves 469 students in pre-K through grade 6 and is part of Gilbert Unified District. It is one of the smaller schools in the local comparison group, with the third-lowest enrollment among 11 schools. In 2025–26, 59% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 56% in math. Most importantly, both results were well above state levels: Quartz Hill exceeded Arizona by 18 points in ELA and 23 points in math.

Compared with its district, the school was slightly ahead in ELA (59% versus 58%) and 4 points ahead in math (56% versus 52%). Its local comparison is more mixed: nearby schools averaged 64% in ELA, 5 points above Quartz Hill, while the nearby math average rounded to 56%, essentially matching the school. Fourth grade is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 72%, 4 points above the nearby same-grade average, and math was 68%, about level with nearby schools. Sixth-grade math is a weaker spot, at 47%—3 points below the district and 10 points below the nearby average.

Fifth-grade science is the clearest sign of improvement: proficiency rose from 39% in 2022–23 to 54% in 2024–25, a 15-point gain. The latest result was 5 points above the district but 2 points below the nearby average; ELA and math results are available for only one year, so their trends cannot be established. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 79th statewide percentile, with 4 stars, placing it near the average percentile for nearby schools; its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 13.3, the second-lowest in the comparison group. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 53rd percentile in 2025–26, down from the 74th percentile the prior year, while the school overall was at the 79th percentile.

Open Quote Quartz Hill is an amazing school! We have been enrolled here for three years and have always had excellent teachers. The principal is so caring about the students and knows almost all of them by name. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is about money. If you do not give money you will be shunned and looked down upon. My son has a disability but has done very well and graduated kindergarten. This school says that he can not come back for no reason at all. Can we say discrimination. Close Quote

Open Quote The principal lied to us (in writing). We later learned the truth of the matter from another school official. I am very disappointed! Close Quote
