Summary:

The 85012 zip code area of Phoenix, Arizona is home to three high schools: Central High School, Phoenix Coding Academy, and PXU City, all of which are part of the Phoenix Union High School District.

Among the three schools, Phoenix Coding Academy stands out as the highest-performing, with consistently strong statewide rankings, impressive test scores that significantly outpace the district and state averages, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 78.4%. In contrast, Central High School, the largest school in the area, lags behind the district and state in academic performance, with only 17% of students proficient or better in English language arts and 13% in math.

PXU City, while smaller in enrollment, maintains a relatively high statewide ranking of #230 out of 469 high schools. However, the school's significantly higher student-teacher ratio of 28.5 compared to the other two schools (15.6 and 15.7) suggests it may face challenges in providing personalized attention and support to its students. Overall, the data highlights the variability in school performance within the same zip code area, with Phoenix Coding Academy emerging as the standout institution in terms of academic achievement and statewide recognition.
