Summary

Schnepf Elementary School serves students in pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 1,044 students in Queen Creek, Arizona. Its 2025–26 results show a clear strength in math: 60% of students were proficient, compared with 33% statewide. ELA proficiency was 53%, also above the 41% state result. The central takeaway is that Schnepf performs well above state results, but its two nearby Queen Creek Unified peers score higher overall.

Against the state and Queen Creek Unified District, math is Schnepf’s strongest subject: its 60% proficiency is 27 points above the state and 6 points above the district’s 54%. ELA is 12 points above the state, but 2 points below the district’s 55%. Among ten nearby schools with all-grades results, Schnepf ranks third in both subjects; the nearby averages are 41% in ELA and 35% in math. The two nearby district schools, Faith Mather Sossaman Elementary School and Frances Brandon-Pickett Elementary, average about 62% in ELA and 69% in math—roughly 9 points above Schnepf in each. Grade 4 is a high point for Schnepf, with 64% in ELA and 66% in math; grade 6 is weaker, especially in ELA, where 46% is below the nearby grade-6 average of 48%.

Grade-5 science remains above the state but has declined: Schnepf fell from 53% proficiency in 2022–23 to 43% in 2024–25, while its lead over the state narrowed from 19 points to 9. SchoolDigger ranks Schnepf 204th of 900 schools, in the 77th percentile, with 4 stars; its overall percentile has risen 14 points since 2021–22, though it peaked at 84 and has fluctuated. SchoolDigger’s ranking for White students is notably lower, at the 39th percentile versus 77th overall, a pattern also present in the two earlier years reported. Schnepf’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 20.7, compared with a 17.5 average at other nearby schools, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 19% in 2022–23.
