Summary:

The 85018 zip code area of Scottsdale, Arizona is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools display a wide range of academic performance, with Hopi Elementary School and Great Hearts Academies - Archway Cicero standing out as the top-performing schools in the area, while Monte Vista Elementary School and Biltmore Preparatory Academy lag behind.

Hopi Elementary and Great Hearts Archway Cicero are both public schools that consistently outperform the Scottsdale Unified District and state averages in English Language Arts and math proficiency, with 60-79% of students scoring proficient or better. In contrast, Monte Vista Elementary and Biltmore Preparatory struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

Interestingly, the top-performing schools do not necessarily have the highest spending per student or the lowest student-teacher ratios. Hopi Elementary had the lowest spending at $6,857 per student, yet achieved some of the best results. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and class size are driving student outcomes in this area.
