Schools in Zip Code 85283

The 13 schools in zip code 85283 include nine elementary schools, one middle school and three high schools, with results ranging from well below to well above state scores. Across seven elementary schools with comparable grades 3–5 results, average ELA proficiency is about the same as the state average, while math averages 36% compared with 39% statewide. The most important takeaway is that performance varies sharply even among schools serving the same elementary grades.

Kyrene del Norte and Rover are the clearest elementary standouts: both scored above the state in all six grade 3–5 subject comparisons. Kyrene del Norte scored 55%, 63% and 72% in ELA for grades 3, 4 and 5, and 40%, 50% and 65% in math; Rover scored 46%, 68% and 60% in ELA and 52%, 51% and 59% in math. In all-grades results, Kyrene del Norte led ELA at 63%, 22 points above the state, while Rover led math at 54%, 21 points above. At the lower end, Fees College Preparatory Middle School scored 18% in ELA and 9% in math, each 24 points below the state; George Gervin Prep Academy had the lowest reported all-grades ELA result, 10%. In grade 11 science, James Madison Preparatory School reached 65%, compared with 19% statewide.

SchoolDigger’s recent rankings are mixed rather than showing broad improvement: the average percentile for nine schools with consecutive results fell 4 points, from 42 to 38. Wood School rose 12 points, from 25 to 37, and Rover rose 4, while Aguilar fell 30 points and Fuller Elementary fell 20. Enrollment and student–teacher ratios do not provide a simple explanation for score differences: Kyrene del Norte reports a ratio of 19.4 and strong results, while Rover reports 14.0 and strong results; lower ratios at Aguilar (11.8) and Fees (12.6) accompany lower scores. SchoolDigger rankings measure relative standing, and matching test-score histories and free/reduced-lunch data are not available to establish broader proficiency trends or compare income context.
