Summary

Roadrunner Elementary School serves 629 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in Phoenix, part of the Washington Elementary School District. In 2025–26, 22% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 19% in math; the latest 5th-grade science result was 21% in 2024–25. The clearest concern is ELA: Roadrunner’s 22% proficiency was 19 points below the state, 8 points below the district, and 6 points below the nearby-school average.

Math is also below all three benchmarks, but the gaps are smaller: 19% proficiency compared with 33% statewide, 25% in the district, and a nearby-school average of 21%. Grade-level results show both concerns and bright spots. Sixth-grade ELA was 21%, below the nearby average of 31%; 4th-grade math was 21%, compared with a nearby average of 27%. By contrast, 6th-grade math was 24%, higher than five of six nearby schools with results, and 3rd-grade math was 26%, tied with several nearby schools. In science, 5th-grade proficiency was 21%, below the state’s 34%, the district’s 25%, and the nearby average of 28%.

Some results have improved recently, though Roadrunner remains modestly ranked statewide. Fifth-grade science rose from 15% in 2023–24 to 21% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile increased from 7 in 2023–24 to 14 in 2025–26, with 1 star; the nearby-school average was 21. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result was for Asian students: the school’s percentile was 8 in 2022–23, compared with 34 overall, a 26-point difference in how well the school ranked in serving that group. Roadrunner’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.3, the second-highest among nearby schools, compared with their average of 17.9. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 88% in 2022–23; no comparable nearby figures were supplied.
