Kyrene Del Milenio, Phoenix AZ - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Kyrene Del Milenio

Kyrene del Milenio is a regular public elementary school within the Kyrene Elementary District, serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Located in the Ahwatukee area of Phoenix, the school sits within a large, sprawling urban city that is one of the fastest-growing in the nation. For a family considering this school, the immediate context is a substantial and dynamic metropolitan area. The district itself passed a budget override continuation in recent years, which maintains funding for programs like art, music, physical education, and foreign languages—a signal of sustained local investment in offerings beyond the core academics.

The student body is diverse. The largest group is white students, who make up a substantial share, followed closely by Hispanic students. The remainder of the enrollment is a mix of students who are two or more races, Black, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. The school serves a modest enrollment for its grade band. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as on students with disabilities and English learners, was not available, so a family would need to ask the school directly about these support structures.

On state assessments, Kyrene del Milenio's proficiency rates are a mixed picture. In both English language arts and math, the proportion of students meeting the proficiency bar was below the midpoint among districts across Maricopa County on an overall proficiency index. At the school level, the rates varied modestly by grade and subject. For English language arts, proficiency was lower in third grade than in fourth, with fifth grade falling in between. In math, third-grade proficiency was slightly below fourth and fifth, which were similar to each other. In science, only fifth graders are tested, and there the proficiency rate was lower. These are solid, actionable numbers for a parent to work with: the school is not producing high overall scores right now, and a parent may want to discuss with the school how it supports students who are below the bar and what academic interventions are in place.

Because the school only serves elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. This is not a gap in the school's performance but a function of its grade band. The school also has no charter or magnet designation, and Title I status was not reported.

Housing in the school’s zip code is priced above the statewide benchmark, with home values that have been roughly flat recently. Rents are also above the national median for a given area, placing this as a costlier part of the metro. The estimated monthly mortgage payment would significantly outpace the typical rent, making homeownership here a heavier commitment.

In short, Kyrene del Milenio is a diverse, neighborhood elementary school in a fast-growing, expensive part of Phoenix, situated within a district that has renewed its commitment to enrichment programs. The academic results on state tests are below the county median, which is the main thing a parent would want to investigate further with the school’s staff.

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.
