Double Adobe Elementary School

Double Adobe Elementary School is a small public school in McNeal, Arizona, serving 39 students in grades PK through 8. Its size belies its performance — the school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10, rated Exceptional by MySchoolScout. That rating holds up under any comparison.

Double Adobe ranks #6 of 1,216 elementary schools in Arizona, placing it at the very top of the state's elementary tier. It outperforms 100% of Arizona public schools overall — a measure that accounts for every grade level and school type statewide. In McNeal, it stands first of two schools.

The scores behind that rank are consistent across dimensions. Academic achievement comes in at 8.9/10. Growth — which tracks how much students improve year over year, independent of where they started — scores an even stronger 9.8/10.

That growth number is particularly meaningful for a school this size: sustaining top-tier academic momentum with 39 students requires a level of instructional consistency that larger schools often struggle to match. For families relocating to the McNeal area or weighing rural Arizona school options, Double Adobe's numbers put it in a class nearly no other school in the state reaches.

With an enrollment of 39 students, Double Adobe Elementary School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Double Adobe Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
