Summary:
ZIP code 85257 includes five schools in Scottsdale Unified District: two elementary schools serving PK–6, one school serving PK–8, a high school, and a K–12 alternative school; enrollment ranges from 141 to 747 students. Across the schools with reported results, average proficiency is 30% in ELA and 25% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide. The clearest academic standout is Hohokam Elementary School, which leads the local results in both subjects and exceeds the state in math.
Hohokam Elementary School has 41% ELA proficiency, matching the state and topping the next-highest local result, 38% at Scottsdale Online Learning. Hohokam’s 52% math proficiency is 32 points above the next-highest reported result, 20% at Yavapai Elementary School; the local math results span 9% at Tonalea Middle School to 52%. Yavapai has the lowest elementary ELA results across the reported grades and the lower fifth-grade science result, 27% versus Hohokam’s 34%. Coronado High School also has low proficiency—22% in ELA and 18% in math—but its graduation rate is 84%, 4 points above the state, and its dropout rate is 2%, 3 points below. Scottsdale Online is mixed: ELA is 38%, just 3 points below the state, while its 71% graduation rate and 9% dropout rate are weaker than state figures.
SchoolDigger rankings show different recent directions, not a consistent area-wide trend: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Coronado rose 6 percentile points to 22, Hohokam fell 3 to 59, and Yavapai fell 7 to 7. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger gave Hohokam 3 stars, Coronado 1, and Yavapai 0. These rankings do not show test-score changes over time, as proficiency history is not provided. A smaller student–teacher ratio does not guarantee higher results in this group: Tonalea has the lowest ratio, 10.8, but the lowest reported math result; Hohokam’s ratio is 14.6, alongside the highest results in both subjects.
