Summary

Jamaica Elementary School serves 424 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, as part of the Lake Havasu Unified District. Its 2025–26 results are stronger in math than in English language arts (ELA), with 52% proficient in math and 46% in ELA. The most important finding is that math is a clear strength: Jamaica has the highest all-grades math proficiency among the district’s six elementary schools.

Math is also well above state and district results: Jamaica’s 52% is 19 percentage points above Arizona’s 33%, 17 points above the district’s 35%, and 12 points above the nearby-school average of 40%. Its result leads Starline Elementary School by one point. ELA is 5 points above both the state and district, but its 46% is only 4 points above the nearby-school average of 42%, and below Smoketree Elementary School at 48% and Nautilus Elementary School at 47%. ELA varies by grade: third- and fourth-grade results are below state results, while sixth grade is 22 points above. Fifth-grade science is weaker by comparison: 34% matches the state, but is 5 points below the district and 4 points below nearby schools’ average of 38%.

Fifth-grade science has rebounded from 29% in 2023–24 to 34% in 2024–25, though it remains below its 52% result in 2022–23. SchoolDigger gives Jamaica a 65th-percentile statewide ranking and 3 stars for 2025–26, the highest among nearby district elementary schools but just ahead of Starline’s 64th percentile. Its ranking rose from the 57th percentile the year before; it was 59th in 2023–24 and 74th in 2022–23. Jamaica’s 20.0 student-teacher ratio is near the 19.9 average for nearby district peers, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 30% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well Jamaica serves students with low socioeconomic status was at the 92nd percentile, compared with 65th overall; its ranking for how well it serves White students was at the 20th percentile.
