Summary:
The Dysart Unified District in Arizona is home to 20 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, with some standout institutions and others facing greater challenges.
Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Canyon Ridge School, which consistently ranks in the top 10% of Arizona elementary schools, and Freedom Traditional Academy, which ranks in the top 6% and boasts exceptional test scores. Other high-performing schools include Western Peaks Elementary and Marley Park Elementary. These schools have consistently ranked in the top 20% of Arizona elementary schools and demonstrate strong academic outcomes across grade levels.
In contrast, some schools within the district face greater challenges, with higher dropout rates and lower academic performance, particularly in math. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as El Mirage Elementary School and Dysart Middle School, tend to have lower overall academic achievement. However, the data does not suggest a clear correlation between per-student spending and school performance, indicating that other factors may be at play in driving student success within the Dysart Unified District.
