Summary:
The 85757 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. These schools serve predominantly Hispanic and Native American student populations, with free/reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 26% to over 80%, indicating high-need student populations.
Among the schools in this area, Academy Del Sol - Star Valley, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with the highest overall performance. It has the highest test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels, outperforming the Tucson Unified District and state averages. In contrast, Anna Lawrence Intermediate School struggles with single-digit proficiency rates in many subject-grade combinations.
The data reveals a wide gap in academic performance between the charter school and the district-run schools, suggesting the charter school may be employing more effective instructional strategies or have other advantages that contribute to its stronger student outcomes. While some schools are struggling, the data indicates there may be opportunities for improvement, such as at Harriet Johnson Primary School, where the 3rd grade math proficiency rate is on par with the district, providing a foundation to build upon.
