Summary:
The 85202 zip code area of Mesa, Arizona is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Mesa Unified District. While the district as a whole is ranked 179 out of 288 in Arizona, the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance and other key metrics.
The standout schools in this area include Franklin Accelerated Academy - Jordan Campus, a top-performing elementary/middle school, as well as the high-achieving public charter high schools Arizona Agribusiness & Equine Center Inc. - Mesa and AAEC Online. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests and have impressive graduation rates. In contrast, Dobson High School and Rhodes Junior High School lag behind on academic measures.
The data reveals significant disparities in educational opportunities and resources across the schools in this area. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families tend to have lower test scores and academic performance. Per-student spending also varies widely, from $6,194 at Eagleridge Enrichment Program to $9,388 at Roosevelt Elementary, but this does not directly correlate with student outcomes. Addressing these inequities and ensuring all students in the 85202 zip code have access to high-quality education will be crucial for improving educational opportunities in the area.
