Eagle College Prep, Phoenix AZ - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Eagle College Prep

EAGLE College Prep is a charter school serving kindergarten through eighth grade in Phoenix, part of the EAGLE South Mountain Charter Inc. network. The school sits in the southern part of the city, an area that has seen steady residential growth as Phoenix continues to expand as one of the fastest-growing large cities in the country. Phoenix itself is a sprawling urban center with a diversified economy centered on technology, manufacturing, tourism, and services, and the school’s location places it within reach of the city’s broad employment base and civic infrastructure, including South Mountain Park.

The school serves a student body that is majority Hispanic, with Black, white, and multiracial students making up smaller shares of the population. The enrollment is moderate in size for an elementary and middle school. Information on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, students with disabilities, and English learners was not available in the data, which limits a full picture of the school’s support needs and resource allocation.

State assessment results for the 2024-25 school year show a mixed picture across grade levels. In English language arts, proficiency rates ranged from below a third of students in fifth and eighth grades to just under half of seventh graders meeting the bar. In math, the pattern was similar, with the highest proficiency seen in seventh grade and lower rates in the elementary grades, especially sixth grade where just over a quarter of students were proficient. Science results were available only for fifth grade, where about one in five students scored proficient. Third-grade and eighth-grade science results were suppressed in the data, meaning the numbers were not reported, likely due to small group sizes.

Compared to other districts across Maricopa County, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades sits below the midpoint. This is not an outlier in a county with many schools, but it does indicate that academic attainment trails the typical performance among the county’s nearly four hundred districts. A parent evaluating this school will want to understand how the school addresses these results, particularly whether there are targeted interventions in the elementary grades where math performance is lowest.

The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report, and data on chronic absenteeism was not available. Without information on staffing ratios, course access, or discipline, the picture of the school environment is incomplete. The district itself, EAGLE South Mountain Charter Inc., did not show any recent public changes or strategic priorities in the data.

Housing in the area around the school has seen a slight dip in home values over the past year, while rents have held fairly steady. The area remains moderately priced relative to the state, which matters for families deciding whether to move into the boundary or commute. The school is a charter, so enrollment is open to any eligible student in Arizona through a lottery, rather than tied to a specific attendance zone.

For a family weighing this option, the main takeaway is that EAGLE College Prep is a mid-sized K-8 charter serving a predominantly Hispanic student body in a growing part of Phoenix, with academic proficiency that varies by grade and subject and generally falls below the middle tier of Maricopa County districts. The absence of data on free lunch eligibility, special education, English learner services, and staffing makes it hard to assess what support structures are in place. A parent would be wise to visit the school, ask about academic intervention programs, and request the school’s own reports on student progress and services.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
