Summary

Granite Mountain Upper Elementary School is a K–8 school in Prescott, Arizona, serving 512 students in Prescott Unified District. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency rates were 45% in ELA and 40% in math, above Arizona’s rates of 41% and 33%, respectively. But they were below district rates of 49% and 41%, and below averages among nearby schools reporting results: 52% in ELA and 45% in math. The key takeaway is that Granite Mountain beats the state in both subjects, but its overall results trail its district and most nearby schools.

Fifth-grade science is the school’s clearest strength against the state: 45% were proficient in 2024–2025, compared with 34% statewide, and the district rate matched the school’s. Still, four nearby schools averaged 49%, about 4 points higher. Granite Mountain also exceeded state benchmarks in fifth- and sixth-grade ELA and math. Local comparisons show room to improve: fifth-grade math was 41%, below Granville Elementary School at 54% and Liberty Traditional School at 67%. Reported sixth-grade scores at nearby schools were also higher than Granite Mountain’s.

SchoolDigger places Granite Mountain at the 57th percentile statewide, rank 385 of 900, with three stars. That is 7 points below its 2024–2025 percentile of 64, though the school’s standing has varied over time and remains 14 points above its 2020–2021 percentile of 43. Its 17.1 student–teacher ratio is higher than the nearby-school average of 14.6, and its enrollment is second largest among the 11 schools compared. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves White students was notably lower than its overall ranking: the group’s percentile was 13, compared with 57 overall. Its ranking for Hispanic students was also lower, at the 27th percentile.
