Summary:
The 85395 zip code area in Arizona is home to 8 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across 3 different school districts. While the schools exhibit a range of academic performance, a few stand out as exceptional, including Great Hearts Academies - Trivium Prep, a public charter high school that consistently ranks among the top in the state, and Belen Soto Elementary School, a public elementary school that has performed well above district and state averages.
The data reveals a noticeable difference in performance between the elementary/middle schools and the high schools in the area. The elementary and middle schools, such as Western Sky Middle School, generally have stronger proficiency rates, while the high schools (with the exception of Great Hearts Academies - Trivium Prep) have lower proficiency rates. This trend is also reflected in the Litchfield Elementary District, which encompasses several of the schools and performs relatively well compared to the state, but still has room for improvement, especially in mathematics.
The data also highlights the importance of school choice, with the two Great Hearts Academies schools standing out for their exceptional academic performance, in contrast to the more mixed results of the district-run public schools in the area. Additionally, the virtual charter high school, Valor Preparatory Academy, has lower proficiency rates compared to the other high schools, suggesting the challenges of delivering quality education in a virtual setting.
