Summary:
The 85006 zip code area of Phoenix, Arizona is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, spread across two school districts - Creighton Elementary District and Phoenix Elementary District. The data reveals a wide range of performance among the schools, with some standouts like Augustus H. Shaw Montessori consistently ranking among the top 20% of Arizona elementary schools, while others like Thomas A. Edison School and Garfield School struggle with lower test scores and higher dropout rates.
The overall test scores for the schools in the 85006 zip code area are generally lower than the state averages, with the Creighton Elementary District and Phoenix Elementary District both performing significantly below the state. However, there are a few exceptions, such as Augustus H. Shaw Montessori, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages. Additionally, Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School stands out for its strong 4th-grade test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as a 5.2% dropout rate across all schools in the 85006 zip code area, and a lack of information on free/reduced lunch rates, which makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations. The charter schools in the area, such as the ASU Preparatory Academy schools, have mixed performance, with some metrics like graduation rates being better than the traditional public schools, but others like test scores being lower. Overall, the data suggests that the 85006 zip code area faces significant educational challenges, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the disparities in school performance and student outcomes.
