Summary

Moon Mountain School is a 474-student PK–6 elementary school in Phoenix’s Washington Elementary School District. In 2025–26, 29% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 30% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide. SchoolDigger places the school at the 27th percentile statewide and gives it one star. Its clearest concern is fifth-grade ELA: 20% were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 26% districtwide, and every reporting same-district peer scored higher, with results ranging from 24% to 47%.

Math is a relative strength against the district, but not against the state or nearby-school average: 30% were proficient at Moon Mountain, compared with 25% districtwide, 33% statewide, and 31% across nearby district peers. ELA was also below the nearby-peer average—29% versus 33%—and just below the district’s 30%; neither all-grade result was the lowest among the eight nearby district schools. Fourth grade was stronger: ELA proficiency was 40%, above the district’s 37%, and math was 37%, above the district’s 31%. Third-grade math stands out as another weakness: Moon Mountain’s 22% was below the district’s 27%, the state’s 38%, and every reporting nearby peer, which scored at least 25%.

Fifth-grade science proficiency declined from 38% in 2022–23 to 26% in 2024–25, while the state stayed at 34%; the school went from 4 points above the state to 8 points below. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has ranged from 27 to 48 in the reported years and was 27 in 2025–26. Its statewide measure for how well the school serves male students was at the 8th percentile that year, below the school’s overall 27th percentile; for African American students, the measure shifted from the 65th percentile in 2021–22 to the 6th in 2022–23. Moon Mountain’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 14.1, the lowest among its same-district peers, whose average was 17.4; that lower ratio coincided with below-peer-average ELA and math results. ELA and math results are available for only one year here, so their trends cannot be assessed.
