Summary

Phoenix Coding Academy is a 224-student high school serving grades 9–12 in Phoenix, within the Phoenix Union High School District. Its latest reported results show that it performs well above district and state levels in English language arts (ELA) and math, and above both in science too. The school’s most important strength is that its latest academic results are stronger than local, district and state comparisons.

Phoenix Coding Academy generally ranks second among nearby schools with published scores, behind Madison Highland Prep. In 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 46%, compared with 18% in the district and 41% statewide; math was 38%, compared with 14% and 33%. In 11th-grade science, the school scored 28% in 2024–25, above the district’s 9% and the state’s 19%, but below Madison’s 41%. Science is the clearest concern: it remains comparatively strong, but has lost ground over time.

Science proficiency fell 30 percentage points, from 58% in 2022–23 to 28% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking has also fluctuated: the school moved from the 92nd percentile in 2022–23 to the 41st in 2024–25, then recovered to the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26; Madison ranked at the 74th percentile with 4 stars. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show a notably stronger recent standing for students with low socioeconomic status: the group ranked at the 86th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 61st overall. Earlier rankings were much lower for multiracial students—28th percentile in 2020–21, compared with 83rd overall. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 13.8, below the nearby median of 17.5; only Arizona Autism Charter - Online High School had a lower reported ratio. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 72% in 2022–23, with no nearby comparison available. The school’s high graduation rates in 2020–21 and 2021–22 are historical; no more recent school rate was supplied.
