Summary:
The Montessori Education Centre Charter School district in Arizona operates two elementary schools: Montessori Education Centre Charter School - Mesa and Montessori Education Centre Charter School - North Campus. Both schools follow the Montessori educational approach and serve students from elementary grades.
Based on the data, the Montessori Education Centre Charter School - Mesa appears to be the standout school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Arizona and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores significantly exceed the state averages across multiple grade levels and subjects, with 83% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 74% proficiency in 3rd grade math, compared to the state averages of 39% and 43%, respectively.
