Summary

Orangewood School is a Phoenix PK–8 school serving 797 students in the Washington Elementary School District, in an area where nearby schools belong to several districts. Its 2025–26 all-grades results are stronger than the district average in both tested subjects, but lower than state averages: ELA was 32% versus 30% districtwide and 41% statewide, while math was 31% versus 25% and 33%. The central takeaway is that Orangewood is a relative leader among nearby schools in its district, but its results remain below state benchmarks and some nearby schools score much higher.

Math is Orangewood’s clearest strength against local district peers: it had the highest reported math result among five nearby Washington district schools, ahead of Ocotillo School at 20%; its ELA result ranked second, just behind the Washington Elementary School District Online Learning Academy at 33%. Seventh grade stands out within the school: ELA was 53% and math 45%, both above district and state results. By contrast, third-grade ELA was 21%, and fifth-grade ELA and math were 22% and 23%, respectively. Fifth-grade science was another weak spot in 2024–25, at 19% versus 25% districtwide and 34% statewide. Across the broader group of nearby schools, results vary widely; BASIS Phoenix North, Alhambra Traditional School and Madison Richard Simis School are among the much higher-scoring options.

Recent indicators are mixed: eighth-grade science rose from 22% in 2022–23 to 26% in 2024–25, while fifth-grade science ended at 19%, 2 points below its 2022–23 result. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 38th percentile in 2022–23 to the 17th percentile, with 1 star, in 2025–26; nearby Ocotillo School ranked at the 18th percentile, while several nearby schools ranked much higher. Orangewood’s 18.7:1 student-teacher ratio is above the 17.6:1 average among nearby schools with reported ratios, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 82% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also varied notably: in 2022–23, the school’s standing for serving multi-racial students was at the 77th percentile versus the 38th overall; the low-socioeconomic-status group’s ranking fell from the 27th percentile in 2023–24 to the 9th in 2025–26. ELA and math results are available for only one year, and some grade-level results are suppressed.
