Summary

Santa Rosa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 538 students in grades PK-6 in Maricopa, Arizona, which is part of the Maricopa Unified School District. While the district is ranked 225 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, Santa Rosa Elementary generally performs better academically compared to the district and state averages.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 40% of Santa Rosa's 5th grade students scored proficient or better in Science, compared to 30% for the district and 34% for the state. Additionally, their 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates were higher than the district and state. Santa Rosa also has strong performance for certain student subgroups, with their Native American and English Language Learner students ranking in the top 25% and top 40% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively. However, there are significant gaps in performance for other subgroups, such as Special Education and Foster Care students.

Compared to the other elementary schools in the Maricopa Unified School District, Santa Rosa generally outperforms them academically, especially in English Language Arts. However, the nearby Pima Butte Elementary School stands out with stronger overall performance. The inconsistent ranking and district-level challenges suggest room for improvement at Santa Rosa Elementary, but the school's strengths in academic performance and serving certain student populations indicate it has the potential to be a strong choice for families in the Maricopa area.
