Summary:
The 85701 zip code area of Tucson, Arizona is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these schools, with some standouts like Carrillo Intermediate Magnet School and Davis Bilingual Magnet School significantly outperforming others like Safford K-8 School and the Pima County Schools Superintendent's Diploma Program.
The top-performing schools in the area are magnet and charter schools, suggesting that these specialized programs may be effective in improving student outcomes. However, the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have the lowest test scores and graduation rates, indicating a potential link between economic disadvantage and academic achievement. The variation in per-student spending across the schools may also contribute to the differences in performance, highlighting the need for equitable funding and resource allocation.
The data also reveals significant challenges faced by alternative schools like the Pima County Schools Superintendent's Diploma Program, which struggles with extremely low graduation rates and high dropout rates. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support for these types of schools to help improve student outcomes.
