Summary:
The 85320 zip code area in Arizona is home to two schools: Aguila Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade, and Aguila Pre-School, a smaller pre-kindergarten-only institution. The area is characterized by a predominantly Hispanic student population, significant economic challenges, and academic performance that generally falls below state averages.
Aguila Elementary School stands out as the more prominent school in the area, with 123 students, compared to 19 students at Aguila Pre-School. The elementary school's student population is 91.06% Hispanic, with smaller percentages of White, African American, and Asian students. While the school's academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is below state averages, its 5th-grade science scores are better than the state average. However, the school's 8th-grade science performance is worse than the state's.
Both schools serve a high-poverty community, as evidenced by the extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at Aguila Elementary School (97.56%). Despite the academic challenges, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($15,183) and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1. The lack of middle and high schools in the 85320 zip code area suggests a potential need for expanded educational options beyond the elementary level for the local community.
