Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
37 points separate Twelve Bridges Elementary (57) from Sheridan Elementary (21) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
37 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 10 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Twelve Bridges Elementary (57/100) holds the Strong band — 36.6% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 22.3%.
37 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
The middle years
One school defines the top: Twelve Bridges Middle sits 29 points clear of the field — the other 1 middle schools are a different conversation.
2 middle schools span 29 points around an average of 52.0.
Twelve Bridges Middle (66/100) holds the Strong band — 33.3% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 24.0%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
29 points separate the top and bottom middle schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
The high school years
50 points separate Twelve Bridges High (61) from Phoenix High (Continuation) (10) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
50 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Twelve Bridges High is the strongest option at 61/100 — 21.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
29.6% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Twelve Bridges Elementary at 57/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
2 of the 16 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 3 campuses here rank as On the Rise (2) or Growth Engine (1), their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
