Summary

Kyrene de la Mirada School is a Chandler elementary school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade, with 583 students in the Kyrene Elementary District. Its latest results put it among the strongest nearby schools, with 61% of students proficient in both English language arts (ELA) and math. The clearest takeaway is that the school performs especially well in math compared with state, district, and nearby-school results.

Math proficiency is 28 percentage points above the state rate of 33% and 20 points above the district’s 41%; it is also 18 points above the nearby-school average of 43%. Only Kyrene del Cielo School scores higher in nearby all-grades math. ELA is also strong: the school’s 61% is 20 points above the state, 11 above the district, and 13 above the nearby average of 48%. But the schoolwide result hides a weaker spot: fifth-grade ELA proficiency is 46%, below the district’s 50%, though above the state’s 38%; it was below six of seven nearby same-district schools with results. Fifth-grade math is stronger at 58%, 8 points above the district and 20 above the state.

SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and an 83rd-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–26, second among nearby schools with a reported ranking. Its percentile rose from 72 in 2023–24 to 83 in 2025–26, though it remains below earlier results such as 96 in 2017–18. Fifth-grade science was above state and district rates in each of the three reported years, but shifted from 50% to 46% to 52%. The student-teacher ratio is 15.8, slightly above the nearby average of 15.5; enrollment is the group’s third largest. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings vary sharply: its effectiveness ranking for low-income students rose from the 12th percentile in 2021–22 to the 81st in 2025–26, while its ranking for African American students shifted from the 96th percentile in 2021–22 to the 28th in 2022–23. These subgroup results have gaps in the available years.

I am so pleased that my child goes here, I think he is getting a huge start academically by staring here! Amazing principal, teachers and students! Close Quote

As a parent of a 5th grader I am truly sad to leave Mirada. We have been at Mirada since 3rd grade. Ms. Branch, Principal, is such a strong leader. She sets high standards for herself, the staff and the students and is very involved and visible. She knows name of each student and most parents as well. Mirada is a Leader in Me school and much of the learning and teaching is completed using the 7 Habits of Highly Successful Kids. I have seen this happen in Preschool through 5th grade. There are many student groups that allow students to become confident leaders. We have been completely happy with the education our child has received. Close Quote
