Tempe, Arizona — home to Arizona State University — blends college-town energy with rich arts, culture, and innovation. With a population of over 180,000, Tempe has produced notable figures like singer Michelle Branch. The city is served primarily by Tempe Elementary School District and Tempe Union High School District. Elementary proficiency rates are modest, averaging around 38% in reading and 34% in math. Yet, schools like Broadmor Elementary exceed 65% in both subjects. Tempe Union reports an 87% graduation rate, driven by robust college-prep programs, dual enrollment, and support services.
While academic equity and language access remain key concerns, Tempe continues to prioritize early literacy, teacher development, and inclusion — aiming to close achievement gaps across its diverse student population.
