Summary

Trailside Point Performing Arts Academy serves 863 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Laveen, within the Laveen Elementary District. In 2025–26, all-grades proficiency was below state and district levels in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math. The largest gap was in ELA: 25% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide and 38% districtwide; math proficiency was 22%, versus 33% statewide and 32% districtwide.

Compared with four nearby same-district PK–8 schools, Trailside’s all-grades results were also below average: ELA averaged 35% at those schools, 10 points above Trailside, while math averaged 26%, 4 points higher. Eighth grade is a relative bright spot: Trailside scored 41% in ELA, above state and district rates of 39% and 38%, and 33% in math, above 30% statewide and 26% districtwide. Its eighth-grade math result was higher than all nearby reported results; its ELA score ranked second among the four nearby schools with reported scores. In contrast, grades 5 and 6 were weaker: ELA results were 16% and 11%, and math results were 14% and 11%. Eighth-grade science was another concern, at 13% in 2024–25, compared with 30% statewide, 27% districtwide, and a 23% average at nearby schools.

SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has fallen from 40 in 2018–19 to 6 in 2025–26, despite a small rebound from 13 to 15 in 2024–25; its current rating is 0 stars, and it was second-lowest among the five nearby schools with current ratings. The student–teacher ratio was 16.9 in 2024–25, the second-lowest in that group. The school’s free/reduced-lunch rate was 66% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notably stronger statewide standing for Native American students: 74th percentile in 2022–23, compared with 25th for the school overall. For students receiving special education, the ranking fell from the 48th percentile in 2020–21 to the 8th percentile in 2022–23, while the overall percentile was 25 in both years.
