Summary:
ZIP code 85284 has six schools—four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—serving students from elementary through high school. Their 2025–26 all-grades averages are about 50% proficient in ELA and 41% in math, compared with Arizona’s 41% and 33%. But results vary widely: the gap between the highest and lowest school scores is 35 percentage points in ELA and 41 points in math. The most important takeaway is that the area-wide average conceals substantial differences between schools.
Corona Del Sol High School leads the all-grades results, with 65% proficiency in ELA and 61% in math—24 and 28 points above state figures. It also reports 65% ELA and 61% math proficiency in grade 11, 40% in grade 11 science, and a 96% graduation rate, 16 points above the state rate. Among elementary schools, Center for Educational Excellence stands out in grade 4, at 78% in ELA and 85% in math—31 and 45 points above state figures—and leads elementary grade-5 science at 50%. At the lower end, Kyrene de las Manitas School has the lowest reported all-grades ELA and science results (30% and 23%); its 21% math score is just above Kyrene Middle School’s 20%, the lowest math result.
SchoolDigger’s rankings show mixed movement from 2023–24 to 2025–26: Corona Del Sol rose 2 percentile points and Mariposa rose 3, while Waggoner fell 8; the five schools with comparable rankings averaged 69th percentile at the start and 68th at the end. For a closer elementary comparison, Waggoner and Mariposa enroll 417 and 415 students and have similar ratios—14.9 and 14.0 students per teacher—but Mariposa’s all-grades math is 8 points higher and its grade-5 science is 10 points higher. These figures are observations, not explanations; because grade spans differ and SchoolDigger rankings are relative standings rather than proficiency scores, grade-matched results are more useful for comparing schools.
