Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 86403 include five schools serving grades PK through 12: Smoketree Elementary School serves PK–6, Telesis Preparatory serves K–8, Havasuonline serves grades 6–12, and the other two schools serve grades 9–12. The reported 2025–26 all-grades results vary sharply: ELA proficiency ranges from 14% to 48%, and math from 7% to 47%. The most important takeaway is that school results are far from uniform, so the school a family considers makes a substantial difference.

Smoketree Elementary School leads the reported all-grades results, with 48% proficient in ELA and 47% in math—7 and 14 percentage points above state rates. Havasuonline is the clear low outlier: 14% in ELA and 7% in math, 27 and 26 points below state. Lake Havasu High School has a mixed profile, with ELA at 46% (5 points above state) and math at 32% (1 point below); its graduation rate was 92%, compared with 80% statewide. Telesis Preparatory is below state overall, but above state in both subjects in grades 4 and 8. Telesis Preparatory Academy has no current reported test scores because its results are suppressed.

SchoolDigger’s rank percentiles show a notable recent decline for Havasuonline, falling from 34 in 2022–23 to 7 in 2025–26, while the movement was mixed elsewhere: Smoketree Elementary School rose from 62 to 63, and Telesis Preparatory fell from 63 to 55 across their reported years. Student–teacher ratios also vary, from 31.3 at Havasuonline and 20.8 at Smoketree Elementary School to 11.7 at Telesis Preparatory, without matching a simple pattern in results. Free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable for all five schools.
