Summary:
The 85635 zip code area of Sierra Vista, Arizona is home to 13 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The data reveals a significant performance gap between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the area, suggesting that students' educational outcomes may be heavily influenced by the school they attend.
The Leman Academy of Excellence-Sierra Vista, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 40% of Arizona elementary schools with strong test scores in ELA and math. Similarly, Village Meadows Elementary School and Center for Academic Success #5 - Sierra Vista K-8 also perform well, ranking in the top 35% of Arizona elementary schools. In contrast, Carmichael Elementary School and PPEP TEC - Colin L. Powell Learning Center struggle, with test scores well below state and district averages.
The data also reveals that the charter schools generally outperform the traditional public schools, indicating that the charter model may be more effective in this region. Additionally, there is a correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. However, spending per student does not necessarily translate to better outcomes, as seen with Buena High School's relatively low spending but strong performance.
