Kyrene Traditional Academy has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Arizona elementary schools over the past 10 years, with strong performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. In 2024-2025, 61% of 7th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53% for the district and 42% statewide. However, the school's math performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, while others are below. The school's diverse student population includes significant representation of Hispanic, White, and Asian students.

Compared to nearby schools, Kyrene Traditional Academy performs better academically than the John M Andersen Elementary and Dr. Howard K. Conley Elementary in the Chandler Unified District. However, the nearby Chandler Traditional Academy - Goodman, also a public school, outperforms Kyrene Traditional Academy on many academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math. The school's higher dropout rates, ranging from 2.3% to 6.1%, are an area of concern that the school may need to address.

At this school, not all children are cared for equally. Bullying is a problem both for students and parents. Dissent is not tolerated. Close Quote

My children have attending KTA from kindergarten. My son is now in Junior High but my daughter is there. From the friendly staff in the front office to the ease of communication with the teachers my experience has been nothing but great. Every teacher there is excited about learning, growing, and teaching our children. Close Quote
