Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85620

Summary:

The 85620 zip code in Arizona is home to a single public elementary school, Naco Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8. With a student population of 276, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and limited resources.

Naco Elementary School's academic struggles are evident in its declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 974 out of 1,109 Arizona elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,123 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are well below state averages, ranging from 3% to 29% and 9% to 27%, respectively. The school's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger further underscores its academic challenges.

The high percentage of students (88.77%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the school's below-average per-student spending of $6,941, suggests that Naco Elementary School is operating with limited resources and facing significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 19.7 is slightly higher than the recommended range, which may contribute to the academic struggles. While located in a small zip code, the school's performance and resource constraints indicate the need for further investigation and potential interventions to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
