Summary

Parkridge Elementary serves 895 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade in Peoria, Arizona, in the Peoria Unified School District. In 2025–26, 51% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 48% in math—both above district and state rates. The key comparison for families weighing nearby schools is that Parkridge’s results are below the average of its six nearby schools in the same district in both subjects.

Parkridge’s all-grades results compare favorably with district and state benchmarks: ELA proficiency is 7 percentage points above the district and 10 above the state, while math is 11 points above the district and 15 above the state. However, the nearby same-district averages are 59% for ELA and 53% for math, compared with Parkridge’s 51% and 48%. Results also vary by grade. Sixth-grade ELA is 65%, and sixth-grade math is 56%; seventh-grade math is 40%, below five of the six same-district schools, though above Zuni Hills Elementary School at 33%. Science shows a similar grade-level contrast: fifth-grade proficiency is 53%, 4 points above the nearby-school average, while eighth-grade proficiency is 35%, 7 points below that average.

Science results have improved over three years: fifth-grade proficiency rose from 47% in 2022–23 to 53% in 2024–25, and eighth-grade proficiency rose from 24% to 35%, though it slipped from 37% the year before. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 83rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 69th percentile in 2025–26, when Parkridge received 3 stars, down from 4 in each of the prior three years. Its student–teacher ratio is 20.2, among the highest of its nearby same-district schools; its supplied free/reduced-lunch rate is 30% for 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White students is at the 31st percentile, compared with the school’s overall 69th; its ranking for Male Students fell from the 77th to the 58th percentile between 2023–24 and 2025–26. These group rankings are comparative standings, not proficiency rates. Only one year of ELA and math results is available, so changes over time in those subjects cannot be assessed.
