Summary

Schnepf Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Queen Creek, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 840 students. The school is part of the Queen Creek Unified District, which is ranked 96 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schnepf Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Arizona elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. Schnepf Elementary excels in serving Hispanic and African American students, ranking in the top 10% and top 5% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for White and multi-racial students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Arizona elementary schools.

Schnepf Elementary's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (18.81% in 2022-2023) suggests a higher socioeconomic status compared to the state average and some nearby schools, such as Faith Mather Sossaman Elementary and Frances Brandon-Pickett Elementary, which are also part of the Queen Creek Unified District. However, some schools outside the district, such as Circle Cross K8 STEM Academy and American Leadership Academy San Tan Valley K-6, have higher rankings and better performance on certain metrics.
