Summary:
Sierra Vista Unified District includes eight schools—seven elementary schools and one high school—with listed grade spans from K–6 to grades 7–12; Joyce Clark Middle School serves K–8. Together, the schools enroll 4,043 students, and reported student–teacher ratios average 18.2. Across schools, average proficiency is 40% in ELA versus 41% statewide and 31% in math versus 33% statewide. The most important takeaway is that those near-state averages mask wide differences: school results span 34 points in ELA and 28 points in math.
Village Meadows Elementary School leads all-grades ELA at 56%, 9 points above the next-highest school and 15 above the state; Huachuca Mountain Elementary School leads math at 47%, 8 points above the next-highest results and 14 above the state. At the other end, Carmichael Elementary School has the lowest results in both subjects: 22% in ELA and 19% in math, respectively 19 and 14 points below the state. Fifth-grade science also varies: Village Meadows leads at 45%, while Pueblo Del Sol Elementary School has 28%, compared with 34% statewide. Buena High School pairs math proficiency slightly below the state at 31% with a 91% graduation rate and 3% dropout rate, versus 80% and 5% statewide.
SchoolDigger statewide percentile rankings rose from 46 to 58 for Town & Country Elementary School and from 51 to 64 for Pueblo Del Sol between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while Buena’s fell from 62 to 56 and Huachuca Mountain’s from 64 to 62. These are changes in relative ranking, not evidence of equivalent changes in test scores. Ratios do not offer a simple guide to results: Village Meadows reports 56% ELA and 39% math with a ratio of 18.7, while Carmichael reports 22% and 19% with a lower ratio of 16.7. Grade-level results can also differ from a school’s overall pattern: fifth-grade math was 48% at Huachuca Mountain but 26% at Village Meadows, against 38% statewide.
