Summary:
ZIP code 85019 has 10 schools: six elementary schools, one middle school and three high schools. Across the six elementary and middle schools with “All Grades” results, average proficiency is 26% in English language arts (ELA) and 20% in math, compared with state results of 41% and 33%. The clearest overall finding is that Global Academy of Phoenix stands apart, with the area’s highest results in both subjects: 48% in ELA and 42% in math.
Global Academy is 7 percentage points above the state in ELA and 9 points above in math, while Madrid Neighborhood School is lowest among the six elementary and middle schools, at 14% in ELA and 10% in math—27 and 23 points below the state. The gap between these two schools is 34 points in ELA and 32 in math. High-school results are also below state levels: 11th-grade ELA proficiency is 15% at West Phoenix High School and 9% at Alhambra High School, compared with 38% statewide. Graduation rates are below the 80% state rate at all three high schools: 68% at Alhambra, 61% at Phoenix Digital Academy and 46% at West Phoenix.
SchoolDigger rankings show mixed movement over time: across seven schools with three years of data, the average percentile fell from 21st in 2023–24 to 15th in 2025–26. Global Academy gained 10 percentile points, from 51st to 61st, while Sevilla Elementary School-West Campus fell 25 points, from 37th to 12th. Staffing figures do not explain the academic differences on their own: Global and Sevilla West both have a student–teacher ratio of 19.5, yet their ELA and math results differ by 28 and 27 points. Free/reduced-lunch entries are blank, and Phoenix Digital Academy’s test results are suppressed, so those measures cannot be compared.
