SchoolDigger’s ranking history is mixed rather than uniformly improving: 7 of 15 schools with comparable figures rose from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while the average change was a 2-point decline in percentile. Buckeye Union High School gained 11 percentile points and Youngker High School gained 9, while Bales Elementary School fell 26. SchoolDigger places Odyssey Goodyear at the 77th percentile and Buckeye Elementary at the 3rd.

Skyview High School’s test scores are suppressed, so its proficiency cannot be compared; its graduation rate is 46%, versus 80% statewide.
