Summary:
The 85022 zip code area in Arizona is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, spread across two school districts - Paradise Valley Unified District and Career Success Schools. While the schools serve diverse student populations, there are significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools like Hidden Hills Elementary School and Kaleidoscope School consistently ranking in the top 40% of Arizona elementary schools, and others like Cactus View Elementary School and the Echo Mountain schools lagging behind.
The data also reveals challenges at the alternative and charter high schools in the area. Career Success Schools - STEM Academy 7-12 and Intelli-School - Paradise Valley have notably lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to traditional public high schools, raising questions about the effectiveness of these school models for certain student populations.
Interestingly, the school with the highest science test scores is the alternative Roadrunner School, where 67% of 11th graders scored proficient or better, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. This suggests that specialized schools can sometimes outperform traditional public schools in specific subject areas. Overall, the 85022 zip code presents a complex educational landscape, with both high-performing and underperforming schools serving diverse communities.
