Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85363

Summary:

The 85363 zip code in Arizona has only one school, Discover U, an elementary public charter school serving grades K-6 with 145 students. Unfortunately, Discover U does not appear to be a standout school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2022-2023 school year, placing it in the bottom 20% of elementary schools in the state.

Discover U's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 5th grade science, only 17% of Discover U students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34%. In English Language Arts, Discover U's proficiency rates ranged from 18% (5th grade) to 30% (6th grade), well below the state averages of 37% to 45%. Similarly, in Mathematics, Discover U's proficiency rates were 16% (3rd grade) and 18% (4th grade), compared to state averages of 43% and 39%, respectively. Additionally, Discover U has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 83.45%, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

While Discover U spends $14,998 per student, which is higher than the state average, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the school's students. Without information on the school's student-teacher ratio, it's difficult to assess whether the resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and success. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Discover U's performance and the educational opportunities available to its students, suggesting the need for substantial improvements and targeted interventions to better serve the community.
