Summary:
Zip code 85283 has one listed middle school, Fees College Preparatory Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 645 students and a 12.6 student-teacher ratio. Its most important finding for families is that proficiency is substantially below statewide results in both main tested subjects: 18% in English language arts (ELA) versus 41% statewide, and 9% in math versus 33% statewide.
There is no meaningful peer-school top or bottom: Fees is the only school listed, so it is both highest and lowest by default. Its results are also below the Tempe School District results—by 17 points in ELA and 15 points in math. The below-state pattern appears across reported grades: ELA proficiency is 18% in 6th grade, 19% in 7th, and 19% in 8th; in math, 6th-grade proficiency is 7% and 8th-grade proficiency is 13%. In 8th-grade science, the school recorded 10%, compared with 30% statewide. The 7th-grade math result is suppressed, so it is unknown, not zero.
SchoolDigger gives Fees 0 stars in each of the three listed ranking years. Its ranking was 505th of 550 schools (8th percentile) in 2023–2024, 538th of 552 (3rd percentile) in 2024–2025, and 516th of 536 (4th percentile) in 2025–2026: the latest percentile is 1 point higher than the prior year but 4 points below the earliest listing. These rankings show a persistently low position, while comparable multi-year test scores are not provided to show whether proficiency is changing. The free/reduced-lunch field is blank, and the staffing ratio has no peer-school comparison in this list.
