Summary:
The 85648 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Santa Cruz Valley Unified District. While the district as a whole is ranked 258 out of 288 districts in Arizona and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Coatimundi Middle School has the highest statewide ranking among the 85648 schools, ranking 335 out of 533 Arizona middle schools and receiving a 2-star rating. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are also relatively strong compared to the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Mountain View School stands out as the elementary school with the highest test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the 85648 schools.
The schools in the 85648 zip code face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.7% to 82.69%. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the generally below-average test scores across the schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 12% to 42% in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the high school, Rio Rico High School, shows promise with a 89.7% four-year graduation rate and a 2.1% dropout rate, which are relatively strong compared to the state averages.
