Summary:
The 85249 zip code area in Chandler, Arizona is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Chandler Unified District #80. Two schools stand out as particularly high-performing: Arizona College Prep High School, ranked #10 in Arizona with a 5-star rating and a 97.2% four-year graduation rate, and Basha High School, ranked #30 in Arizona with a 4-star rating and a 93.7% four-year graduation rate.
The high-performing schools have significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. There is a correlation between lower free/reduced lunch rates and higher academic performance, with the schools with the lowest free/reduced lunch rates, Arizona College Prep High School and John & Carol Carlson Elementary, having some of the highest test scores.
In contrast, the middle school, Santan Junior High School, had lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the elementary and high schools, suggesting a potential need for additional support during the transition to middle school. Spending per student does not necessarily correlate with academic performance, as Navarrete Elementary had the highest spending per student but lower test scores compared to other schools.
