Cloves C Campbell Sr Elementary School, Phoenix AZ

Original Research by School Decision on Cloves C Campbell Sr Elementary School

Cloves C Campbell Sr Elementary School, serving pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, is a regular public school in the Roosevelt Elementary District in Phoenix. The school sits within a large, sprawling urban center that has been among the fastest-growing cities in the nation. For a family looking at this school, it helps to understand what the academic picture shows, what kind of peer environment to expect, and what information is not yet available.

The student body is majority Hispanic, with a substantial share of Black students and smaller numbers of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. This composition is a characteristic of the school’s attendance area, not a measure of quality, and families will find a diverse student community. Enrollment appears stable across the elementary and middle grades, with several dozen students at each grade level.

On state assessments, Cloves C Campbell Sr Elementary School posts results that are below the midpoint among schools in Maricopa County for overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades. That position points to academic challenges that parents may wish to explore further. Looking at specific subjects and grade levels reveals variability. In English language arts, fourth graders reached a proficiency rate above the school’s own overall pattern, while third graders had a lower rate. In math, fifth graders performed at a level notably higher than the typical result for the school, with roughly half of students meeting the state’s standard. However, math results for grades six through eight were suppressed in the state data, likely due to small group sizes that do not meet the state’s threshold for reporting; a parent may want to ask the school directly how older middle-school students are performing in math. In science, only the fifth-grade result was reported, and it fell below the majority proficient mark. No science data was reported for eighth grade for the same reason.

Attendance and discipline statistics are absent from the data available, so there is no way to gauge chronic absenteeism or school climate from this source. The same is true for special education and English learner counts, and for course access or program offerings. The district profile turned up no recent parent-relevant changes, such as boundary adjustments or new program launches, that would affect how families view the school.

Housing in the immediate area is moderately valued relative to national benchmarks, with typical home prices in the middle range for a major metro area. Rents have been declining slightly, which could be relevant for families considering a move. The Phoenix economy is anchored by manufacturing, technology, tourism, and a major airport, with ongoing population growth, so the broader context is one of a large, still-expanding city where housing and job markets remain active.

For a parent trying to decide whether this school fits, the core takeaway is a regular public school with a mixed academic record, strongest in the upper elementary grades and weaker in the early primary years. The school offers a full PK through eighth grade structure, which means a child can stay in one building through middle school, avoiding a separate transition. The surrounding city offers abundant civic and recreational resources, but the school’s own academic data leaves questions: why some grade levels perform markedly better than others, and whether the suppressed results for older grades reflect broader issues. A family would likely want to visit, ask about instructional supports and any special programs, and perhaps discuss with current parents before making a decision.

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.
