Summary:
Chaparral Schools has four listed schools: two elementary schools and two serving grades 7–12, including a virtual school. Three schools have 2025–26 test results; Chaparral Virtual School has none. The clearest takeaway is that results vary widely among the tested schools, rather than showing one consistent pattern across the area.
Anthony Elementary is the strongest tested school, leading in all three subjects with 63% proficiency in ELA, 61% in math, and 65% in science. Its scores are 17, 20, and 27 percentage points above state results, respectively. At the other end, Chaparral Junior/Senior High has the lowest results: 26% in ELA, 41% in math, and 27% in science. The gap between these schools is 37 points in ELA, 21 in math, and 38 in science. Harper Elementary falls between them, at 41% in ELA, 48% in math, and 34% in science; it is above the state in math but below it in ELA and science.
Recent results reinforce that the schools are moving in different directions. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Anthony gained 11 points in ELA and 5 in science, while Harper lost 8 points in ELA and 21 in science; the junior/senior high lost 9 points in ELA, with math rising at all three tested schools. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 percentiles also place Anthony highest at 81, followed by Harper at 40 and the junior/senior high at 32; over three years, Anthony rose 11 points while Harper fell 15. Reported student–teacher ratios are close—11.3 at Anthony and 11.6 at each of the other tested schools—and lunch-rate figures range from 59% to 63%, alongside very different test results. These measures provide context, but do not explain the differences.
