Summary

Hermosa Vista Elementary School serves 662 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Mesa, within Mesa Unified District. SchoolDigger places it at the 74th statewide percentile for 2025–26, with 4 stars and a rank of 232 out of 900 schools. The most important finding is that Hermosa Vista’s English language arts results stand out locally, while mathematics—especially in grade 6—is a less consistent strength.

In 2025–26, 63% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 41% statewide and 39% in the district; that was the highest result among the nine nearby schools with reported scores, whose average was 49%. Fifth-grade science was another standout: 55% were proficient, versus 34% statewide and 33% in the district, the highest result among six nearby schools with reported scores. Mathematics was positive against state and district averages—48%, versus 33% and 31%—but less competitive nearby: the local average was 45%, and four nearby schools scored higher. Grade 5 was strong in both tested subjects, with 66% proficiency in English language arts and 60% in math; grade 6 math was 36%, above state and district results but higher than only one of six nearby schools with reported scores.

SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile has declined from 88 in 2020–21 to 74 in 2025–26, although Hermosa Vista remains third among eight nearby schools with current rankings. Fifth-grade science results fluctuated—53% in 2022–23, 45% in 2023–24 and 55% in 2024–25—rather than rising steadily. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16.9, close to the 16.8 average at six nearby schools in the same district; the reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 19% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students with low socioeconomic status was at the 44th percentile in 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 81st percentile that year; its Native American student measure moved from the 17th percentile in 2021–22 to the 47th in 2022–23. AASA English and math results are available for 2025–26 only, while science results cover grade 5.
