Original Research by School Decision on Ignacio Conchos School
Ignacio Conchos School serves students from prekindergarten through eighth grade as a regular public school in the Roosevelt Elementary District, located in the city of Phoenix. The school sits within Maricopa County, one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, and draws from a large, sprawling urban environment where the economy runs on technology, manufacturing, tourism, and services. As a PK-8 campus, Conchos does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report.
The student body is one of the school's plainest characteristics. The vast majority of students identify as Hispanic, with small shares of Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, white, and two-or-more-races students. This composition is simply a demographic fact of the community the school serves. Data on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are classified as English learners were not available in the source materials. A parent who wants to understand the full support profile at Conchos should ask the school directly about those programs.
When it comes to academic performance, the available state testing results present a clear picture. For the most recent year, the school's overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades placed it below the midpoint relative to other districts in Maricopa County. The multi-year trend data show that the all-grades combined proficiency rate in English language arts stood at a modest level, while the math rate was notably lower. Across individual grades, most math and English language arts results were suppressed, meaning the state did not report them, likely due to small group sizes that raise privacy concerns. One grade level had a reported ELA proficiency rate that was well below half, and the all-grades math proficiency rate was in the single digits. These numbers are a soft spot, and a family considering Conchos should talk with the school about how it supports students who are behind grade level and what interventions or curricula are in place.
Science results for both tested grades were also suppressed, so no picture of performance in that subject is available from state data. Because the school serves grades PK through 8, the absence of a graduation rate is expected and carries no negative implication.
The school does not appear to be a charter or magnet school. Information about course offerings, such as advanced coursework, arts programs, or career and technical education pathways, was not present in the source data. Parents looking for enrichment or acceleration options should ask the school directly what is available for middle-grade students.
Housing in the area around the school shows typical values near the national average, with home prices having edged down slightly year over year and rents holding steady. The national 30-year mortgage rate has been in the mid-six percent range. The broader Phoenix area continues to grow in population, though specific new housing development details near the school were not available from the search.
A search for recent changes in the Roosevelt Elementary District that would be relevant to parents turned up no evidence of lasting shifts such as boundary redraws, program closures, or new district initiatives. That absence means the district context appears stable by this measure, though a parent may want to check the district website directly for any current updates.
