Summary

Hohokam Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 495 students in Scottsdale, Arizona. Its clearest takeaway is a strong overall math result that masks uneven performance by grade, with grade 4 a pronounced weak spot.

Math is Hohokam’s strongest subject compared with the state and nearby schools: 52% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 19 points above Arizona and 25 points above the nearby-school average. Only Great Hearts Academies–Archway Cicero and Navajo Elementary School scored higher among the nearby schools with results. But grade 4 math was 35%, below the state’s 40%, the district’s 65%, and the nearby-school average of 45%. English Language Arts was 41% overall—matching the state and 8 points above the nearby-school average, but 20 points below Scottsdale Unified District. Grade 4 and grade 5 ELA results were also below their state benchmarks.

Grade 5 science improved from 23% in 2022–23 to 34% in 2024–25, reaching the state level but remaining 21 points below the district. SchoolDigger rates Hohokam at 3 stars and the 59th statewide percentile for 2025–26; that is 18 points below its 2020–21 high, though it ranks third among seven nearby schools with current rankings. The student-teacher ratio is 14.6, compared with a nearby-school average of about 13; the free/reduced-lunch rate was 67% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for male students fell to the 34th percentile in 2025–26, 25 points below Hohokam’s overall standing and 21 points below its 2023–24 result; its measure for White students fell 34 points, from the 84th percentile in 2024–25 to the 50th in 2025–26. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, and some grade-level results are unavailable.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, June 9, 2015

I truly appreciated the experience at Hohokam Traditional Elementary School and held it as a special place within the district while under the direction of the previous principal. However, under the direction of the new principal, I have seen significant turnover, teachers leaving or going on "leave," and only the teachers who seem "life-long teachers" of Hohokam remaining because they are committed to each other and the children/community at Hohokam. Their satisfaction and positivity has decreased as has the morale of the campus and this has been vocalized. I find this disappointing and unfortunate for the community at Hohokam and for my children. It seems that the current principal runs the school as more of as "business manager" micromanaging the building, and duty rotations doing rounds of check-ins, does not have the "people skills" needed to make his staff feel appreciated or build the relationships needed to have conversations and instead picks at his staff and creates a negative, awkward environment to be in. I am concerned at how many more good teachers he is going to drive out before something will be done and how much further the district is going to let the scores slip and how unhappy it will allow the staff to become before something will be done. It is a shame to be allowing something like this to be done to such a formerly pleasant school. My children will be attending a new district next school year. Close Quote
