Echo Mountain Intermediate School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Echo Mountain Intermediate School is a public middle school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 345 students. It is part of the Paradise Valley Unified District, which is ranked 106 out of 289 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Echo Mountain Intermediate School is part of the Paradise Valley Unified District, it consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are 10-30 percentage points lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Echo Mountain Intermediate School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.81% in 2021-2022 to 75.62% in 2022-2023, indicating a lower-income student population compared to nearby schools like Sunrise Middle School, Explorer Middle School, and Mountain Trail Middle School, which have higher proficiency rates and state rankings.

The data also suggests that Echo Mountain Intermediate School may face challenges with resource allocation and staffing, as the school's spending per student has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $6,022 in 2019-2020 to $8,414 in 2021-2022, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.3 to 16.1 over the past few years. These factors could be contributing to the school's underperformance and indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to help Echo Mountain Intermediate School and its students reach their full potential.
