Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85147


Summary:

The 85147 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools, Sacaton Elementary and Sacaton Middle School, both part of the Sacaton Elementary District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and perform significantly below state averages across various metrics, including test scores, statewide rankings, and student demographics.

Neither Sacaton Elementary nor Sacaton Middle School can be considered standout schools. Both institutions have a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, with Sacaton Elementary ranked 1244 out of 1245 Arizona elementary schools and Sacaton Middle School ranked 853 out of 854 Arizona middle schools in the 2022-2023 academic year. The student population is predominantly Native American, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

Academically, the schools struggle, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling well below state averages. For example, Sacaton Elementary's proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math range from 3-7%, compared to the state averages of 41-45% and 39-43%, respectively. Similarly, Sacaton Middle School's proficiency rates in 5th-8th grade ELA and Science are between 3-12% and 3-5%, respectively, compared to state averages of 37-42% and 27-34%. The high dropout rate at Sacaton Middle School, at 17.2%, is also a significant concern.
