Within the district, a few schools stand out. Desert View Elementary is the highest-ranked school in the district, ranked 397 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across most grade levels compared to the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. The schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.85% to 96.82%, indicating a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The district's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions like Desert View Elementary. The wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios may also suggest challenges in equitable resource allocation across the district.
