Summary:
The city of Anthem, Arizona is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Deer Valley Unified District, except for the alternative school which is part of the Edkey Inc. district. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with the elementary schools, particularly Diamond Canyon School and Gavilan Peak School, standing out as exceptional educational institutions.
Boulder Creek High School also demonstrates impressive performance, with a high graduation rate and above-average test scores. In contrast, the alternative school, AMCS at Anthem dba Caurus Academy, has lower academic performance and a relatively high dropout rate, highlighting the challenges faced by alternative schools in providing a high-quality education.
The schools in Anthem generally perform better than the Deer Valley Unified District and the state of Arizona averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with the elementary schools demonstrating particularly strong test scores. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the elementary schools may contribute to their academic success. However, the schools in Anthem have a predominantly white student population, which may be an area for the district to address in order to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
