Summary

Maurice C. Cash Elementary School serves 714 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Phoenix’s Laveen area, within the Laveen Elementary District. In 2025–26, 26% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 38% districtwide and 41% statewide; in math, 30% were proficient, close to the district’s 32% and Arizona’s 33%. The most important takeaway is that the school’s math results are relatively competitive, while ELA is a more pronounced weakness.

Compared with nearby schools, math is the clearer bright spot: Maurice C. Cash was 9 points above their average of about 21%, and its 30% result was second-highest among the 10 nearby schools with results, behind Vista Del Sur Accelerated Academy at 69%. ELA was 4 points below the nearby average of about 30%, although it was above the nearby median of 21%. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade math reached 51%, 13 points above the state rate, while eighth-grade math was 15%, 15 points below it. In ELA, third grade was the weakest tested grade at 19%; sixth-grade ELA was 22%, 19 points below the state.

Science results remain below district and state rates. Fifth-grade proficiency stayed at 21% in each of the three years from 2022–23 through 2024–25; eighth-grade science rose from 14% to 19% over that period, after reaching 21% in 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 19th percentile in 2023–24 to the 32nd in 2025–26, and its rating rose from 1 star to 2, though it remains in the lower third statewide. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves female students ranked it at the 17th percentile in 2025–26, 15 points below the overall ranking; that group’s ranking fell from the 30th percentile the year before as the overall ranking rose. The student-teacher ratio is 17, close to the nearby-school median of 17.5. The school reported a 90% free/reduced-price lunch rate in 2022–23, but comparable nearby rates are not supplied.
