Summary:

The Pima Unified District in Arizona encompasses four schools, including one elementary school, one middle school, and two high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves students from preschool through 12th grade, providing educational opportunities in a rural area.

Pima High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 110 out of 270 Arizona high schools in 2023-2024 with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 78.4% and a low dropout rate of 5.2%, while also outperforming the district and state averages in 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Pima Junior High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Arizona middle schools, with a 2-star rating, and its student proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are mixed, with some areas below the state average.

Pima Elementary School also stands out, performing better than the district average in 3rd, 4th, and 6th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 in 2023-2024. However, the school's overall ranking of 577 out of 912 Arizona elementary schools in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating, suggests room for improvement.
