Arredondo Elementary School has seen fluctuating statewide rankings over the past several years, ranging from 404 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to 713 out of 1000 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been below the Tempe School District and Arizona state averages across most grade levels and years, with only 39-49% of Arredondo students proficient or better in these subjects in 2024-2025. Additionally, Arredondo has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 34.05% in 2021-2022 to 70% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Broadmor Elementary School and Ward Traditional Academy, Arredondo's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher statewide rankings and better test scores. However, Arredondo's performance for certain student subgroups, such as White and Asian students, is significantly better than the overall school performance, suggesting potential opportunities to learn from these high-performing groups. Despite the higher per-student spending at Arredondo, the school's academic outcomes have not kept pace with the increased investment, indicating a need to examine the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization.

My son was having an issue with bullying And the school did not even follow its own Handbook protocol. The reason I was given was that the incident was not considered bullying... even though my son actually had physical injuries. Close Quote
