The Heber-Overgaard Unified District in Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Mountain Meadows Primary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite having only one school in the district, the data reveals that Mountain Meadows Primary is a high-performing institution that is effectively serving its diverse student population.
Mountain Meadows Primary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates that significantly exceed the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, 51% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 61% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39% and 43%, respectively.
