The school is part of the Edkey Inc. - Redwood Academy district, which is ranked 404 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a diverse student population, with 45.56% Hispanic, 30.56% White, and 11.11% African American students, its academic performance has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby public schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 18-29% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 555 out of 1,109 Arizona elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 925 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing much worse than their Hispanic peers.

When compared to nearby public schools, such as Mirage Elementary School, Ironwood Elementary School, and Sunrise Elementary School, Arizona Conservatory for Arts and Academics Elementary School generally underperforms on academic measures. The school also has a high percentage of students (55.56% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may present additional challenges in providing resources and support to meet the needs of these students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
