Summary:
The 85017 zip code area of Phoenix, Arizona is home to 15 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by various districts including Alhambra Elementary District, Washington Elementary School District, Phoenix Union High School District, and several public charter school organizations.
Among the standout schools in the area is Alhambra Traditional School, which ranked 93rd out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools and received a 5-star rating, with exceptional test scores significantly outperforming district and state averages. Other notable schools include Academy of Mathematics and Science South and Bennett Academy, which have relatively strong test scores compared to the area's average. However, the data also reveals stark contrasts, with some schools like Technical Campus and Bostrom Alternative Center performing well below the state average.
Many of the schools in the 85017 zip code serve high-poverty student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 55% to 97%, and this is reflected in the wide range of academic outcomes. Graduation rates vary significantly, from as low as 7.4% at Career and College Prep to as high as 92% at Pan-American Charter School. The data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the lower-performing schools and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the community.
