Summary

Acacia Elementary School in Phoenix serves 806 students in grades K–6 in the Washington Elementary School District. Its latest test results show a strong position among nearby district schools: Acacia led them in English Language Arts (ELA), placed second in math, and scored above the state and district on the latest science test.

In 2025–26, 39% of students were proficient in ELA, 9 percentage points above the district and 2 below the state; that was the highest result among eight nearby schools in the district, whose average was 30%. Math proficiency was 36%, 11 points above the district and 3 above the state, and second locally; the nearby-school average was 30%. The latest science result, for 5th grade in 2024–25, was 38% proficient, compared with 25% in the district and 34% statewide. Results vary by grade: 4th and 5th grade were particular strengths, while 3rd-grade ELA and math were 7 and 8 points below state results, respectively, and 6th-grade math was 3 points below the state.

Science results rose from 41% in 2022–23 to 53% in 2023–24, then fell to 38% in 2024–25, remaining above the state and district. SchoolDigger’s statewide rating fell from the 55th percentile in 2023–24 to the 45th percentile in 2025–26, and from 3 stars to 2; still, Acacia ranked second among the eight nearby district schools. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.8, higher than the nearby district-school average of 15.6, while its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 75% in 2022–23; nearby schools’ lunch figures are unavailable for comparison.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Thursday, March 11, 2021

This school is the worst place to work at. I wouldn't wish this job on my worst enemy. I rather be unemployed than work here again. The principal creates a toxic and passive aggressive environment. She'll break every promise she makes with you, even if it's unethical or in your contract. I'd be surprised if she doesn't make all the positive comments herself and any of her favorites on these sites. Close Quote
