Summary

Osborn Middle School serves 418 students in grades 7–8 in Phoenix’s Osborn Elementary District. It is the second-smallest of 11 nearby schools; only Imagine Camelback Middle is smaller, with 169 students. In 2025–26, 25% of Osborn students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, and 13% were proficient in math, compared with 33% statewide. The clearest academic concern is math: its results were 20 percentage points below the state, versus 16 points below in ELA.

Science is Osborn’s strongest subject relative to the state, though results remain below state and nearby-school levels: eighth-grade proficiency was 20% in 2024–25, compared with 30% statewide and a 25% average among nearby schools with reported results. The district’s science rate matched Osborn’s. In other subjects, ELA was closer to district and nearby results than math: Osborn’s 25% ELA proficiency was 2 points below the district’s 27% and below the nearby-school average of 28%; its 13% math proficiency was 6 points below the district’s 19% and below the nearby average of 20%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so these all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Science proficiency rose from 12% in 2022–23 to 20% in 2024–25, while Osborn’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile fell from 38 in 2015–16 to 12 in 2025–26. The current ranking is tied with Sevilla Elementary School-West Campus among nearby schools with current rankings; SchoolDigger gives Osborn 1 star. Its student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 17.7, compared with a nearby-school average of 19.5, and its 2022–23 free/reduced-lunch rate was 80%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for serving student groups showed especially low rankings in 2022–23 for students receiving special education services (3rd percentile, down from 50th in 2020–21) and Asian students (2nd percentile, down from 43rd in 2021–22), compared with an overall ranking of 27th percentile that year.

Open Quote Osborn Middle is the ONLY school in greater Phoenix teaching Geometry during the school day. Geometry is a 10th grade class. Advanced math students can take Algebra in 7th or 8th grade, and receive 9th grade HS credit, they can then continue in Geometry in 8th grade. My kids can also continue the Spanish Dual Language and Ballet here. The music, band and choir are great too! Close Quote
