About Holy Family Academy
Holy Family Academy serves 91 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in Phoenix, offering an intimate educational environment with a remarkable 9.2:1 student-teacher ratio. With just 10 full-time equivalent teachers, this small regular public school provides personalized attention that many larger institutions cannot match. The school has earned an impressive 9.4 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating, though it ranks #129 out of 225 schools statewide, placing it in the 43rd percentile among Arizona schools.
This suggests Holy Family Academy may be excelling in areas beyond traditional test metrics, potentially offering unique programs or individualized support that contributes to its high rating despite its middle-range state ranking. Located on North Greenfield Road, Holy Family Academy sits in an established Phoenix neighborhood where the median household income reaches $80,315 and nearly half of residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher. The area's median home values of $459,300 reflect a stable, middle-to-upper-middle-class community with a relatively low poverty rate of 11.8%.
The school's small size creates opportunities for close student-teacher relationships and individualized learning approaches that can benefit students across all grade levels. Holy Family Academy operates within Phoenix's large urban setting while maintaining the intimate feel of a smaller educational community.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 91 students, Holy Family Academy 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.
With a student-teacher ratio of 9.2:1, Holy Family Academy offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Holy Family Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
