Elementary Schools in Cartwright Elementary District

The Cartwright Elementary District in Arizona contains 17 elementary schools serving grades PK-8, with student enrollment ranging from 130 to 1,040. While the district as a whole is ranked 264 out of 288 in Arizona and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out as potential bright spots.

Sunset School and John F. Long both rank in the top half of Arizona elementary schools and are rated 2 out of 5 stars, with relatively strong test scores compared to the district average. Additionally, Cartwright Virtual Academy stands out with 50% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with many schools struggling and scoring well below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggest the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement. While the standout schools provide potential models for success, the overall low performance highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the schools and students within the Cartwright Elementary District.
