Summary

Aguilar School is a 350-student PK–5 elementary school in Tempe, Arizona, part of the Tempe School District. In 2025–26, 31% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 21% in math. The clearest concern is math: Aguilar had the lowest result among seven nearby schools with comparable scores.

Math is the school’s weakest subject compared with its district, state and nearby schools: 21% proficiency was below the district’s 24%, the state’s 33% and the nearby-school average of 44%—a 23-point gap from that average. ELA was also below the district (31% versus 35%), the state (41%) and the nearby average (49%), and was second-lowest among those peers. Fifth-grade science is a relative strength: Aguilar’s 33% was near the nearby average of 32% and the district’s 31%, though just below the state’s 34%.

Science scores have risen from 28% in 2022–23 to 33% in 2024–25, narrowing the gap with the state from 6 points to 1. In contrast, SchoolDigger’s overall standing fell from the 48th percentile and two stars in 2024–25 to the 18th percentile and one star in 2025–26; its latest rank was 737th of 900 schools. SchoolDigger’s ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 15th percentile in 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 41st percentile that year. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students dropped from the 62nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 21st in 2025–26. Aguilar’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 11.8, below the nearby-school average of 14.0. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 64% in 2022–23; nearby rates were not available for comparison.
