Summary

Las Sendas Elementary School serves 645 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in Mesa, in the Mesa Unified District, which ranks at the 41st percentile statewide on SchoolDigger. The school’s clearest strength is its current achievement: in 2025–26, 71% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 72% in math, well ahead of both the district and Arizona.

Las Sendas leads the six nearby same-district schools with reported all-grade results in both subjects. Its ELA result is 32 percentage points above the district and 30 above the state; its math result is 41 points above the district and 39 above the state. The nearby peers averaged 45% in ELA and 41% in math, putting Las Sendas 26 and 31 points higher, respectively. Results are strong across tested grades, though grade 3 is a relative dip: ELA is 65%, below Mendoza Elementary School at 67% and Pathfinder Academy at 73%; grade 3 math is 66%, second to Mendoza’s 78%. Fifth-grade science also remains above local and state results, at 56% versus 34% statewide and 33% districtwide.

Science has slipped 5 points from 61% in 2022–23 to 56% in 2024–25, although it remains 22 points above the state and 23 above the district. SchoolDigger places Las Sendas at the 94th statewide percentile in 2025–26, rank 50 of 900, with 5 stars; its percentile has eased just 1 point from 95 in each of the two prior years. Its student-teacher ratio has also declined, from 18.2 to 17.2 over two years, but remains higher than most nearby schools. A notable difference appears in SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings: in 2022–23, the school ranked at the 65th percentile for how well it serves Special Education Students and the 64th for African American Students, compared with an overall percentile of 94. These subgroup standings had also fallen from 94 and 85, respectively, in 2020–21.
