Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85623

Summary:

The 85623 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Mountain Vista School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 403 students. The school is part of the Oracle Elementary District.

Mountain Vista School has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years, dropping from a ranking of 624 out of 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 897 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, and finally to 631 out of 912 in 2023-2024. The school's rating has also fluctuated, going from 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 to 1 out of 5 stars in 2022-2023. While the school's test scores in some grade levels and subjects were lower than the district and state averages, it did perform better than the state average in 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and 7th grade ELA.

Another area of concern for Mountain Vista School is its relatively high dropout rate of 5.2% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $8,401, and it had a student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year. Without any other schools in the 85623 zip code to compare to, it is difficult to draw more meaningful conclusions about the school's performance, but the available data suggests that Mountain Vista School is facing some challenges that may require further investigation and support to improve its overall academic outcomes.
