Summary

The supplied record lists enrollment at 0, which is not a usable student count; Mountain Trail Academy is an elementary school in Mesa serving pre-K through grade 6 in the Queen Creek Unified District. In 2025–26, 63% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 57% in math, both above Arizona averages. The clearest concern is fifth-grade math: proficiency was 50%, 14 points below the district.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools: its 63% proficiency rate was 7 points above their average, tied with Canyon Rim Elementary for second among the 11 schools, behind Katherine Mecham Barney Elementary at 78%. Mountain Trail’s ELA result was also 22 points above the state and 8 points above the district. Math was above the state by 24 points and the district by 3, but was less distinctive locally: its 57% was 6 points above the nearby-school average and fifth among the 11 schools. Fifth-grade math was also 4 points below the nearby-school average of 54% and 12 points above the state. In contrast, fourth-grade ELA reached 72% and sixth-grade ELA 68%, both above district and state results.

The available results do not show whether performance is improving or declining: only 2025–26 test scores and ranking history are supplied. SchoolDigger ranks Mountain Trail 153rd of 900 Arizona elementary schools, in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars; that is fourth by percentile among the 11 nearby schools, with three ranked higher. The school’s ratio of students to teachers and free/reduced-lunch rate are blank, so those comparisons are unavailable.
