Summary:
ZIP code 85205 has five elementary schools: four serve PK–6, while Self Development Charter School serves K–8; their all-grades results range from 30% to 76% in ELA and 22% to 76% in math. The clearest overall finding is that Self Development stands out across subjects, with 76% proficiency in both ELA and math and 92% in fifth-grade science.
Self Development leads the supplied all-grades results, averaging 29 points above the other four schools in both ELA and math; its results are also 35 points above the state in ELA and 43 points above in math. Among the four Mesa Unified District schools, Entz Elementary School leads with 62% in ELA and 68% in math—20 and 28 points above the other three schools’ averages, respectively. At the other end, O’Connor Elementary School has the lowest all-grades results, at 30% in ELA and 22% in math, 29 and 39 points below the other four schools’ averages. In fifth-grade science, Self Development’s 92% is 58 points above the state; Bush Elementary is lowest among schools with results at 36%, still 2 points above the state.
SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings rose from 2023–24 to 2025–26 at most schools: Entz gained 16 points, Bush 8, Mendoza Elementary School and O’Connor 7 each, while Self Development remained high, moving from the 95th to the 96th percentile. The five-school average rose from the 62nd to the 70th percentile. Same-grade results show math as a relative strength: average school results were 24 points above the state in grades 3–6 math, compared with 15 points in ELA, though individual grades vary sharply. Enrollment ranges from 301 at Self Development to 567 at Entz, and student–teacher ratios from 13.3 to 18; these figures do not form a simple pattern with results. Because Self Development serves different grades from the other schools, its all-grades totals are not perfectly matched, and free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable.
