Summary

Sunset Vista is a Glendale, Arizona, school serving 676 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in the Glendale Elementary District. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were below Arizona’s in both English language arts (ELA) and math, and the clearest concern is fifth-grade ELA: just 16% of students were proficient, the lowest result among 10 schools reporting for that grade.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA is the sharper weakness: the school’s all-grades result was 26%, below the nearby-school average of 32%, the state’s 41%, and the district’s 27%. Math was also below the state, at 23% versus 33%, but matched the district and was closer to the nearby average of 26%. Results vary considerably by grade. Third-grade math was a relative bright spot at 38%, equal to the state and 9 points above the district; eighth-grade math reached 36%, above both the state’s 30% and the district’s 27%. Fourth-grade ELA was another stronger grade-level result, at 39%, above the district’s 30%.

Sunset Vista’s SchoolDigger standing has improved, rising from the 3rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 20th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, though it remains below the nearby-school average of the 30th percentile. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 18.2, tied for the second-lowest among 10 nearby schools, whose average was 20; a lower ratio has not coincided with stronger schoolwide test results here. In 2022–2023, SchoolDigger ranked the school’s results for Native American students at the 94th percentile statewide, compared with the school’s overall 25th percentile; its ranking for Special Education Students was at the 2nd percentile. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 73% in 2022–2023. Because only one year of ELA and math results was supplied, their change over time cannot be assessed.
