Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 85297 include nine schools—seven elementary schools serving grade spans from K–6 to PK–8, and two high schools serving grades 8–12, with no middle schools. In the latest all-grades results, every school scored above the state average: schools averaged 57% in ELA versus 41% statewide and 55% in math versus 33%. The most important finding for families is that results still vary substantially between schools: all-grades math ranges from 39% to 68%, and grade 5 math among elementary schools spans 34 points.
Coronado Elementary School stands out in the all-grades results, leading math at 68% and tying San Tan Elementary for the highest ELA result at 63%. At the other end, Benjamin Franklin Charter School - Power has the lowest ELA result, 49%, while Ball Charter Schools (Val Vista) has the lowest math result, 39%—still 6 points above the state. Among high schools, Perry High School leads Campo Verde High School in 11th-grade ELA, math, and science by 6, 5, and 8 points, respectively. Ball Charter also has notable grade-specific strengths: 75% in 7th-grade ELA and 73% in 8th-grade science, compared with state results of 43% and 30%.
SchoolDigger rankings show different directions of change: Coronado rose 10 statewide percentile points, from 79 to 89, while Campo Verde fell 9 points and Ball Charter fell 5 over their listed histories. Across the eight schools with the latest rankings, the average SchoolDigger percentile declined from 78 to 76; these rankings are not a measure of changing test proficiency. Similar enrollment and student–teacher ratios do not guarantee similar results: Coronado and Power Ranch Elementary have 536 and 509 students and ratios of 12.3 and 12.6, yet differ by 7 ELA points and 17 math points. Campo Verde has a slightly higher graduation rate than Perry—97% versus 96%—despite Perry’s lead in tests. All-grades results combine different grade spans, so grade-specific comparisons are more directly comparable.
