The most important finding is that Greenway was below both the state and district in every reported subject and grade.
There is no local top or bottom school to compare: Greenway is the only school listed. Its grade-level results were also below Arizona’s in both grades. In grade 7, ELA proficiency was 21% versus 43% statewide, a 22-point gap, while math was 12% versus 27%, a 15-point gap. In grade 8, ELA was 19% versus 39%, a 20-point gap, and math was 13% versus 30%, a 17-point gap. The gap was somewhat larger in ELA than math in both grades, though neither subject stands out as a consistent relative strength.
SchoolDigger ranks Greenway 498th of 536 Arizona schools for 2025–26, at the 7th percentile with zero stars. Its rank history has fluctuated: it was 515th of 550 (6th percentile) in 2023–24, 507th of 552 (8th percentile) in 2024–25, and 498th of 536 (7th percentile) in 2025–26—17 places higher and one percentile point higher from the first year to the last. Greenway has a student–teacher ratio of 17, but there is no other listed school for comparison, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is supplied. The available ELA and math scores cover only one year, so the rank changes do not show whether test results are improving.
