Summary:

Schools in zip code 86314 include 12 schools: seven elementary, two middle and three high schools, with grade spans that vary by school. The available all-grade results show modestly higher average proficiency than state benchmarks in both English language arts (ELA) and math, but they also reveal wide differences between schools. Liberty Traditional School is the clearest academic standout, leading all 10 schools with reported results in both subjects.

Liberty Traditional reports 64% proficiency in ELA and 61% in math—23 and 28 percentage points above state benchmarks. The lowest results differ by subject: Lake Valley Elementary has the lowest ELA result, at 29%, while Franklin Phonetic Primary has the lowest math result, at 15%. The gaps between the highest and lowest schools are 35 points in ELA and 46 in math. High-school completion figures also vary: Bradshaw Mountain High reports an 88% graduation rate, compared with 46% at PACE Preparatory Academy.

Recent SchoolDigger rank-percentile histories suggest slight overall improvement but little average change in the latest year: seven schools gained an average of 3 percentile points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while their average change from 2024–25 was essentially flat. Individual paths differ: Coyote Springs Elementary rose 16 points over the longer period, while Lake Valley and Acorn Montessori Charter School each fell 6. Ratios and results do not move in a simple pattern: Lake Valley’s ratio is 12.8 students per teacher, yet its ELA result is the lowest, while Acorn Montessori Charter School Inc. - West has a 24.1 ratio and reports 41% ELA and 47% math. Test results for PACE and Yavapai County High School are suppressed, and free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable.
