Schools in Zip Code 85018

Schools in ZIP code 85018 include 11 schools: 7 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high, and 1 alternative school. In 2025–26, the reported all-grades proficiency results averaged about 41% in English language arts (ELA) and 37% in math, compared with state results of 41% and 33%. But those averages hide wide differences from school to school. The most important finding is that performance across the area is highly uneven, so school-specific results matter more than a single area-wide picture.

Hopi Elementary stands out at the top: 69% were proficient in ELA and 67% in math, and SchoolDigger gives it a five-star rating and ranks it at the 91st percentile statewide in each of the three listed years. At the other end, Career Success School – Sage Campus had 12% ELA proficiency, while Monte Vista Elementary had the lowest reported math result, 10%; both are well below the state results. Grade-level results add useful contrasts: Tavan Elementary led grade 5 science at 53%, just ahead of Hopi at 52%, while Biltmore Preparatory Academy had 27%. Ingleside Middle also stood out in grade 8, with 57% proficient in ELA and 50% in math, above state results of 39% and 30%. High-school outcomes differ sharply: Arcadia High School reported a 96% graduation rate, versus 27% at Ombudsman – Charter East.

SchoolDigger’s rankings have risen for some schools and slipped for others: Monte Vista moved from the 2nd to the 14th percentile, while Arcadia moved from the 74th to the 70th; years differ, and these ranking changes do not establish a trend in test scores. Ratios also do not form a simple guide to results: Career Success has 7.5 students per teacher but low proficiency, while Tavan has a lower ratio than Hopi (12.7 versus 16.4) but lower all-grades results; Tavan narrowly leads Hopi in grade 5 science. Free/reduced-lunch rates are unavailable, and Ombudsman’s test results are suppressed.
