Summary:
The Marana Unified District in Arizona is home to 13 elementary schools serving grades PK-8, with the majority being PK-6. The district as a whole is ranked 154 out of 289 in Arizona and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out as performing better than the district and state averages. Dove Mountain K-8 ranks 208 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and is rated 4 stars out of 5, consistently outperforming the district and state in test scores. Coyote Trail Elementary School is ranked 323 out of 909 and rated 3 stars, with strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Rattlesnake Ridge Elementary is ranked 258 out of 909 and rated 4 stars, standing out for its high performance in Mathematics.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools within the Marana Unified District. For example, in 8th grade Math, Dove Mountain K-8 scored 38% proficient or better, while Roadrunner Elementary scored only 20%. Additionally, some schools show inconsistent performance across grade levels and subjects, suggesting a need for more consistent, school-wide instructional practices. The relationship between per-student spending and academic achievement is also unclear, with the school with the highest spending not necessarily the highest performing.
