Summary

Dove Mountain K-8 is a PK–8 school in Marana, Arizona, with 1,004 students and is part of Marana Unified District. In 2025–26, 60% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 53% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide. The school’s clearest advantage is against its district: it leads the other nearby Marana Unified schools in both subjects and exceeds district rates by 16 points in ELA and 15 points in math.

Grade 4 is a particular strength: 69% were proficient in ELA and 72% in math, each higher than all listed nearby schools except The Innovation Academy. Science is also strong against state and district results: grade 5 proficiency was 55% in 2024–25, and grade 8 was 54%. The relative weak spot is middle-school math. Dove Mountain scored 39% in grade 7 and 51% in grade 8—above state results, but below Leman Academy of Excellence-Oro Valley Arizona and Richard B Wilson Junior School in both grades. Its grade 6 math result, 43%, was also below most nearby schools with comparable results.

Science trends differ by grade: grade 5 went from 55% to 46% and back to 55% over the three years shown, while grade 8 rose from 49% to 58% and then eased to 54%. SchoolDigger ranks Dove Mountain 179th of 900 schools, at the 80th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile rose from 77 to 80 in the latest year but remains below its 88 peak in 2022–23. The school has the largest enrollment among the nearby schools and the highest reported student–teacher ratio, 19.1, compared with a nearby-school average of 13.5; its 2022–23 free/reduced-lunch rate was 19%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well it serves Female Students reached the 64th percentile in 2025–26, up from 49 in 2023–24; its ranking for White Students was 45th percentile, well below the school’s overall 80th. ELA and math results are available for only one year, so their trends cannot be judged.
