Summary:
The 85031 zip code area in Phoenix, Arizona is home to 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school, spread across three different school districts: Maryvale Preparatory Academy, Cartwright Elementary District, and Alhambra Elementary District.
Among the standout schools in the area is Marc T. Atkinson Middle School & Gifted Academy, which consistently ranks among the top 25% of Arizona middle schools and has significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Another high-performing school is John F. Long, an elementary school with a relatively high 2-star rating and some of the highest test scores, particularly in Mathematics, among the elementary schools in the area. In contrast, the majority of the elementary schools in the data set have test scores that are below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data also reveals the presence of a high-performing alternative school, Great Hearts Academies - Maryvale Prep, which has a 78.4% four-year graduation rate, higher than the district and state averages. However, its test scores are generally lower than the state averages, suggesting that more support may be needed to help students succeed academically. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools also highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes in this community.
