A few schools stand out in the district. Discovery School has the highest statewide ranking among the Glendale elementary schools, ranking 516 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools and earning a 2-star rating. It also has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. Glendale Elementary Online (G.E.O.) Learning, a virtual school, has a relatively high statewide ranking of 593 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools and a 3-star rating, as well as some of the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts. While ranked lower than Discovery School, Horizon School still performs better than many of the other Glendale elementary schools, ranking 736 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the Glendale elementary schools, with some schools demonstrating strong proficiency rates and others struggling with single-digit proficiency rates in certain subject areas and grade levels. There also appears to be a relationship between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tending to have lower proficiency rates. The wide range of performance across the Glendale elementary schools highlights the need for a more consistent and equitable approach to education within the district.
