Summary:
ZIP code 85029 has nine schools serving students from elementary through high school: seven elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. Eight are in Washington Elementary School District, while Moon Valley High School is in Glendale Union High School District. In 2025–26, the nine schools averaged 30% proficient in ELA and 27% in math, compared with state results of 41% and 33%; math was closer to the state by 6 percentage points, versus 11 points for ELA. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply by school, so the area does not have one uniform academic profile.
Moon Valley leads the All Grades results overall, with 44% in ELA and 38% in math; its math result ties with Sahuaro School. Moon Valley is also above state results in 11th grade: 44% versus 38% in ELA and 38% versus 31% in math. Among elementary schools, Sahuaro stands out at 37% in ELA and 38% in math—about 10 and 12 points above the elementary-school averages. At the other end, Mountain View Elementary School reports 14% in ELA and 10% in math, the lowest results in both subjects. Grade-level results also matter: Sahuaro’s 4th-grade math is 55% versus 40% statewide, while Chaparral Elementary School is above state results in 4th-grade ELA (53% versus 47%) and 5th-grade math (43% versus 38%).
SchoolDigger’s ranking percentiles show modest, mixed movement—not a clear trend in proficiency scores. Five of the seven elementary schools improved from 2023–24 to 2025–26, and their average percentile rose from 24 to 26; Moon Valley rose from 40 to 59, while Sahuaro fell from 53 to 46. Enrollment and student–teacher ratios do not form a clear pattern with results: Chaparral has 415 students and a 14.0 ratio, compared with Mountain View’s 903 students and 15.6 ratio, yet Chaparral’s All Grades results are 36% in ELA and 31% in math, versus Mountain View’s 14% and 10%. SchoolDigger percentiles are rankings rather than proficiency-score changes, and free/reduced-lunch rates are not provided.
