Summary

Meyer Montessori is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Tempe, Arizona, with 189 students enrolled. The school consistently outperforms the Tempe School District and the state of Arizona in academic proficiency, particularly in science, where 70% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to 31% for the district and 34% for the state.

Meyer Montessori's performance is also noteworthy for certain student subgroups, such as multi-racial students, who ranked 26th out of 1,027 Arizona elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year, earning a 5-star rating. The school's higher spending per student ($14,572) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.3 to 14.6) compared to nearby schools like Flora Thew Elementary ($12,403 per student, 14.8 ratio) and Joseph P. Spracale Elementary ($12,180 per student, 15.5 ratio) may contribute to its academic success.

While Meyer Montessori outperforms most nearby schools, there is one notable exception: Ward Traditional Academy, also part of the Tempe School District, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state with significantly higher academic proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subjects.
