Summary:
Somerton Middle School is the only middle school listed in Somerton Elementary District, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 697 students. Its reported student–teacher ratio is 22.4:1. The most important finding for families is that results are below Arizona averages in every reported subject: in 2025–26, the school’s all-grades ELA rate was 29% compared with 41% statewide, and its math rate was 14% compared with 33%.
There is no second school in the district list to compare with Somerton Middle School, so it is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this group, with a 0-point range. Within the school, ELA is comparatively stronger against the state than math: its ELA shortfall is 12 percentage points, while its math shortfall is 19 points. That pattern is especially clear in grade 8: math is 12% at the school versus 30% statewide, and grade 8 science was also 12% versus 30% in 2024–25. Grade 7 math is closer to the state rate, at 15% versus 27%.
Somerton Middle School has risen in SchoolDigger’s relative statewide ranking over the three reported years: from 496th of 550 schools and the 10th percentile in 2023–24, to 452nd of 552 and the 18th percentile in 2024–25, then 435th of 536 and the 19th percentile in 2025–26; its latest rating is one star. This improvement in relative rank does not establish that test scores improved, and the latest results remain below state rates. From grade 7 to grade 8, the school’s math rate falls 3 points while Arizona’s rises 3 points, widening the gap by 6 points. Because only one school is listed and no grade 6 results are provided, families cannot use these data to compare nearby middle schools or see results for grade 6.
