Summary

Copper Creek Elementary School in Tucson serves 283 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in the Amphitheater Unified District. In 2025–26, its all-grades English language arts (ELA) and math proficiency rates were above district and Arizona averages, but below most nearby schools. The key takeaway is that beating state and district averages does not make Copper Creek a strong local performer: it ranked near the bottom of nearby schools in both subjects.

In 2025–26, 48% of Copper Creek students were proficient in ELA, compared with 45% districtwide and 41% statewide; in math, the figures were 46%, 39% and 33%. Among 10 nearby schools, Copper Creek had the second-lowest ELA result and third-lowest math result. The three nearby PK–5 schools—Mesa Verde Elementary School, Painted Sky Elementary School and The Innovation Academy—averaged 66% in ELA and 64% in math, about 18 percentage points above Copper Creek in each. Grade-level results also vary: fifth-grade ELA was 36%, below both the district’s 42% and state’s 38%, while third-grade math was 33%, 5 points below both. Fifth-grade science was 41% in 2024–25, above the state’s 34% and district’s 37%, but below the nearby-school average of 51%.

SchoolDigger placed Copper Creek at the 61st statewide percentile in 2025–26, ranking it 351 of 900 schools with three stars. Its overall percentile has fluctuated: it was 73rd in 2015–16, fell to 56th in 2024–25, then rose to 61st. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for multiracial students rose from the 39th percentile in 2020–21 to the 82nd in 2022–23, while its overall ranking went from the 62nd to the 69th percentile over those years. For White students, the school ranked at the 34th percentile in 2025–26, compared with its overall 61st. Copper Creek also had the lowest reported student-teacher ratio among nearby schools, at 9.1 versus their average of about 15.2, and the smallest enrollment; its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 25% in 2022–23.
