Summary

Inspiration Mountain School is a PK–8 school in the Phoenix area, serving 789 students in Deer Valley Unified District. Its latest results show broad academic strength: in 2025–26, 67% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 66% in math, compared with 55% and 49% districtwide and 41% and 33% statewide. The most important takeaway is that the school’s results are substantially above both district and state levels in its two core tested subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, the school is among the strongest overall, though performance varies by grade. Its ELA result ranks second among seven same-district peers and fourth among 10 nearby schools; its math result ties for third among those 10. It was also 4 percentage points above the same-district peer average in ELA and 5 points above it in math. Sixth-grade math was a standout at 71%, higher than every same-district peer with results. Third-grade math was a relative weak spot nearby: 57% was below eight of 10 reporting schools and their 62% average, but still 4 points above the district and 19 above the state. Fifth-grade science reached 65% in 2024–25, 14 points above the district and 31 above the state.

Science proficiency rose from 62% in 2022–23 to 70% in 2023–24, then eased to 65% in 2024–25; the latest result remains 3 points above the earliest. SchoolDigger gives the school five stars and a 92nd-percentile statewide standing in 2025–26, ranking it 76th of 900; nearby, only Great Hearts Academies – Archway Glendale and Legend Springs Elementary rank higher by percentile. Its 18.7 students per teacher is the third-highest ratio among 11 nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Military Connected Students was 44th percentile in 2022–23, compared with 91st percentile overall that year. For White Students, the ranking rose from the 69th percentile in 2023–24 to the 81st in 2025–26, while the overall percentile rose from 85 to 92. The only reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 10% in 2022–23, and comparable nearby and later-year figures are unavailable.
