About Coronado Elementary School
Coronado Elementary School serves 255 students in pre-kindergarten through third grade in Saint Johns, Arizona. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — labeled "Exceptional" — with an academic score of 9.8 and a growth score of 9.6. Both marks put the school at the very top of the state's distribution.
The rankings reflect that. Coronado places #36 out of 2,000 public schools in Arizona, outperforming 98% of the state's public schools. Among elementary schools specifically, it ranks #35 out of 1,216.
In Saint Johns, Coronado holds the top spot among the town's two public schools. Finishing in the top 2% against a field of 2,000 schools — across academic outcomes and growth combined — signals consistent, measurable performance rather than a single strong year. The school operates with a student-teacher ratio of 19.6:1 across a focused PK–3 grade span.
At 255 students, it stays small enough to maintain classroom-level consistency. That combination of contained enrollment, early-grades focus, and high growth scores makes Coronado one of the standout elementary options in northeastern Arizona.
