Summary:

Tanque Verde Unified District has four schools—two elementary schools, a junior high and a high school—serving students from elementary through high school in the Tanque Verde area. In the 2025–26 AASA results, all four schools were above the state comparison in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math; the 2024–25 science results were also above state, by 11 to 18 points. The clearest districtwide strength is math: the schools averaged 62% proficient, compared with 33% statewide, versus an ELA average of 64% against 41% statewide.

Tanque Verde Elementary School stands out in math, with 72% proficient across all grades—9 points above the 63% at each of the other elementary/high school peers and 23 points above Emily Gray Junior High School at 49%. It also led Agua Caliente School in math in every shared grade. For all-grades ELA, Tanque Verde Elementary and Tanque Verde High School tied at 68%, while Emily Gray was lowest at 58%—still 17 points above state. Agua Caliente’s standout is 4th-grade ELA: 86%, 10 points above Tanque Verde Elementary.

SchoolDigger ranks all four schools above the statewide midpoint. Tanque Verde Elementary is at the 93rd percentile and has five stars; Tanque Verde High is at the 89th percentile, Agua Caliente at the 84th and Emily Gray at the 82nd. From 2023–24 to 2025–26, percentile standing rose 9 points for Tanque Verde High, 4 for Tanque Verde Elementary and 6 for Emily Gray, while Agua Caliente slipped 1 point. For families comparing the elementary schools, Tanque Verde Elementary led in 6th-grade ELA and math by 19 and 21 points, while Agua Caliente had the 4th-grade ELA advantage; Agua Caliente also had a lower student–teacher ratio, 14.9 versus 16.7. Because schools serve different grades, shared-grade comparisons are more useful than treating all-grades results as a direct ranking.
