Summary

Kyrene del Norte School is a 514-student, PK–5 elementary school in Tempe, part of the Kyrene Elementary District. Its latest all-grades results are above state and district averages, and fifth grade is a particular strength: math proficiency was 65% in 2025–26, compared with 50% districtwide and 38% statewide, while 2024–25 science proficiency was 56%, the highest among nearby schools with results.

Across all grades, ELA proficiency was 63% and math was 51% in 2025–26—13 and 10 percentage points above district results, and 22 and 18 points above state results. Compared with seven nearby schools with results, the school was above their average in both subjects, but it was not the local leader: it ranked second in ELA and fourth in math. Arredondo Elementary School led both subjects, at 89% ELA and 81% math. Grade-level results are less even: third- and fourth-grade math were 40% and 50%, below district results, while fifth-grade math ranked second among eight nearby schools. Fourth-grade ELA was 63%, above state and district results, but four nearby schools scored 67% or higher.

Science results have fluctuated rather than risen steadily: fifth-grade proficiency fell from 57% in 2022–23 to 38% in 2023–24, then recovered to 56% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 74th statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26; that was fourth among eight nearby schools with a current rating, just below Rover Elementary School at 75. Its student–teacher ratio was 19.4 in 2024–25, higher than every nearby school with a reported ratio; its only reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 22.85% in 2022–23, and nearby figures are unavailable. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable difference in relative standing: the Female Students percentile was 44 in 2025–26, 30 points below the school’s overall 74, while the Male Students percentile was 79. Special Education Students’ percentile also shifted sharply, from 16 in 2021–22 to 61 in 2022–23, against overall school percentiles of 76 and 81 in those years.
