What to know about Maryvale High School, where stabbing left student dead
On Aug. 19, a student at Maryvale High School died after a stabbing in a classroom. Phoenix officers responded to the west Phoenix school at about 10:54 a.m. after receiving a call about a stabbing and found a boy with multiple stab wounds, court documents said. The boy was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at noon, court documents said. He was identified by police as Michael Montoya II, 16. Chris Aguilar, 16, has been charged with second-degree murder, according to court documents. A girl told police she saw Aguilar pull out a pocketknife before stabbing Montoya three times, according to court records. Another person saw Aguilar drop the knife outside the classroom, the records said. A school security guard collected a four-inch folding knife that had Aguilar's name etched on the handle and placed it in the principal's office, court records said. Teens at the school told police that Montoya had robbed Aguilar of a firearm, with one saying that Aguilar and his twin brother talked about killing Montoya after the alleged robbery, according to court records. Here's what to know about Maryvale High School, which is part of the Phoenix Union High School District. Where is Maryvale High School? Maryvale High School is located at 3415 N. 59th Ave. in west Phoenix. It is at the corner of North 59th Avenue and West Osborn Road. How many students attend Maryvale High School? Maryvale High School has a student body of roughly 2,700 students. Over 90% of Maryvale High School's student body is Hispanic, a slightly larger share than the 81% Hispanic student makeup of the district overall, according to state data. Black students are the second largest demographic at Maryvale High School, at 4%. The school's attendance boundaries encompass a portion of west Phoenix. The boundaries are not a perfect square but run from 43rd Avenue on the east to 63rd Avenue on the west, and from Camelback Road on the north to McDowell Road on the south. Phoenix Union High School District has a student population of over 26,700 students, making it one of the largest school districts in metro Phoenix. The district has 24 schools, 3,500 employees and covers 220 square miles of Phoenix, according to the district's website. How does Maryvale High School perform academically? Maryvale High School is a B-rated school, according to the state's school report card. Fifteen percent of its student body is proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state's 40% and the district's 18%, according to state assessment data. Eight percent of the Maryvale High School student body is proficient in math compared to the state's 32% and the district's 13% according to test scores. What security measures does Maryvale High School have in place? Phoenix Union installed advanced weapons detection systems on all of its campuses earlier this year, according to the district's website. Maryvale High School was one of two schools to pilot that program beginning in November 2023. The district found success in deterring weapons on campus during its testing in Maryvale High School, according to a report from the district. After protests in 2020, Phoenix Union decided to end its contract with Phoenix police for on-campus officers. The district then reversed that decision in 2023 and brought officers back to campuses. Maryvale High School had an officer on campus on Aug. 19, according to court records, police and the district. In a document submitted by the district for a grant application to the Arizona Department of Education to place police officers in Phoenix Union campuses, the district stated that weapons such as knives and guns were rising in prevalence. Are Maryvale High School students in class this week? In-person classes at Maryvale High School were canceled for the rest of the week. Perry Vandell contributed reporting. Coverage of education solutions on and in The Arizona Republic is partially supported by a grant from the Arizona Local News Foundation's Arizona Community Collaborative Fund.
