Summary

Queen Creek Elementary School is a highly-ranked public elementary school serving 735 students in grades PK-6 in the Queen Creek Unified District in Arizona. The school has consistently performed among the top elementary schools in the state, currently ranking 191 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Queen Creek Elementary School excels academically, with 72% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 65% for the district and 46% for the state. The school also ranks in the top 5% of Arizona elementary schools for African American and Native American students, and in the top 15% for Hispanic students and students of low socioeconomic status. This consistent high performance has allowed the school to maintain a strong statewide ranking over the past 10 years, placing it in the top 25% of Arizona elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Queen Creek Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, with the exception of Faith Mather Sossaman Elementary School, which has similar or slightly higher proficiency rates in some subjects and grade levels. However, the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $7,367 to $10,017 over the past 4 years, may suggest that the school is able to provide additional resources and support to certain student subgroups, while potentially leaving others behind. This is an area that may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students.
