It earns a composite score of 9.1/10 — rated Exceptional — with an Academic score of 9.6/10 and a Growth score of 9.2/10.

The Growth score of 9.2/10 carries real weight for elementary-age families: it measures how much students accelerate relative to peers, not just where they start.

It operates as a regular public school with no selective admissions process — attendance-zone families access the same high-performing instruction. For parents comparing Phoenix elementary options, few schools in the state combine this level of academic output and student growth in a standard public setting.
