Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85207

The 85207 zip code area of Mesa, Arizona is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Mesa Unified District, except for 3 charter schools.

A few schools stand out in this area, including Las Sendas Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Pathfinder Academy, a charter elementary/middle school that also performs very well. Additionally, Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies, an alternative school for grades 4-9, has exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates often over 90% in core subjects.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools in this area. While the top-performing schools like Las Sendas and Pathfinder have high proficiency rates, other schools like Salk Elementary and Sousa Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. This suggests challenges in providing equitable education across the district, and the district and state proficiency rates in core subjects generally being in the 30-40% range indicate room for improvement districtwide.
