Summary:
The 85022 zip code in Arizona is home to a single middle school, Echo Mountain Intermediate School, which serves grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 345 students. The school is part of the Paradise Valley Unified District, which is ranked 106 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Echo Mountain Intermediate School provides education to the local community, its academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages across several key metrics. The school's science proficiency for 5th grade is 16%, compared to 42% for the district and 34% for the state. Similarly, its ELA proficiency for grades 4-6 ranges from 21-43%, while the district scores 48-60% and the state scores 38-46%. In math, the school's proficiency for grades 4-6 ranges from 10-29%, significantly lower than the district's 45-56% and the state's 29-40%.
Other factors, such as the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.6 and its per-student spending of $8,414, which is below the district and state averages, suggest that Echo Mountain Intermediate School may be facing resource and performance challenges. Without access to free/reduced lunch data, it's difficult to determine if the school's performance is correlated with the socioeconomic status of its student population. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and identify potential areas for improvement.
