Summary

Kyrene de la Paloma School is a 435-student PK–5 elementary school in Chandler, in the Phoenix metro area. In 2025–26, students’ all-grade proficiency was 53% in English language arts (ELA) and 47% in math, above state and district results in both subjects. The clearest concern is fifth-grade math: 44% met the standard, below the district’s 50% and the nearby-school average of 53%.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength against nearby schools with the same grade span: its 53% all-grade result was 4 points above their 49% average. Math was about 1 point below the nearby average of 48%, despite leading the state by 14 points and the district by 6 points; ELA was 12 points above the state and 3 above the district. The grade-level contrast is especially marked: fifth-grade ELA was 58%, 8 points above the nearby average, while fifth-grade math was 9 points below it. Fifth-grade math was still 6 points above the state, making it a specific area to watch rather than a weakness across all fifth-grade subjects.

Fifth-grade science has been relatively steady: proficiency moved from 45% in 2022–23 to 51% in 2023–24 and 46% in 2024–25. The latest result was 12 points above the state and 2 above the district, and close to the nearby-school average of 45%. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 65th percentile statewide in 2025–26, up 6 points from 2023–24, and gave it 3 stars; its student–teacher ratio was 15.2, close to the nearby average of 15.5. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings for student groups show lower relative standing for White students: the 26th percentile in 2025–26, down from 36 in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 65th percentile. Its ranking for African American students also fell historically, from the 69th percentile in 2020–21 to the 37th in 2022–23.
