Summary:
The 85281 zip code area of Tempe, Arizona is home to four elementary schools: Cecil Shamley School, Flora Thew Elementary School, Holdeman Elementary School, and Scales Technology Academy. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and are part of the Tempe School District.
Based on the available data, none of the four elementary schools in the 85281 zip code area stand out as high-performing. All four schools have consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Arizona elementary schools, with 0-1 star ratings from SchoolDigger. The schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Tempe School District and Arizona state averages. For example, in 4th grade English Language Arts, the schools' proficiency rates range from 20-32%, while the district and state averages are around 38-46%.
The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as a relatively high dropout rate of 5.2% at Cecil Shamley School. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average spending per student, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that the elementary schools in the 85281 zip code area face significant challenges and may require targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of their underperformance.
