Summary

Estrella Foothills Global Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Laveen Elementary District in Arizona, with 895 students and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 430 out of 1226 Arizona elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 457 out of 909 in 2024-2025.

Estrella Foothills Global Academy generally performs below the Laveen Elementary District and Arizona state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 36% statewide, and only 25% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to 37% statewide. The school has also seen a steady increase in dropout rates, going from 3.9% in 2020-2021 to 5.2% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 20.49% in 2021-2022 to 49.85% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Estrella Foothills Global Academy's performance lags behind nearby schools in the district, such as Paseo Pointe School and Vista del Sur Accelerated, which have higher test scores and rankings. The school's student-teacher ratio has also increased from 12.5 in 2021-2022 to 18.6 in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to the decline in academic performance. Overall, Estrella Foothills Global Academy faces several challenges and will need to address these issues to improve its educational outcomes and ranking.
