Summary

Sahuaro Ranch Elementary School serves 578 students in PK–8 in Glendale, Arizona, and belongs to the Peoria Unified School District. In 2025–26, 46% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 37% in math, both above state results. The clearest takeaway is that Sahuaro Ranch is one of the stronger nearby schools: it ranked third among 11 schools in both subjects, though it was not the local leader.

Compared with nearby schools, Sahuaro Ranch’s overall results were well above the group’s averages: ELA proficiency was 46% versus 37%, and math was 37% versus 28%. Its results were also above the state in both subjects: 5 percentage points higher in ELA and 4 higher in math. Against its district, however, ELA was 2 points higher while math matched the district’s 37%, making ELA the clearer relative strength. Results vary by grade: seventh-grade ELA reached 58%, while third- and fourth-grade math were 50% and 51%. Fifth grade was a softer spot, with ELA at 34%—below both the state and district—and math at 37%, below the district’s 42%.

Results show both improvement and fluctuation over time. Eighth-grade science rose from 15% in 2022–23 to 31% in 2024–25, while fifth-grade science fell from 34% to 29% over the same period. SchoolDigger ranked Sahuaro Ranch at the 57th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26; its percentile recovered from 43 in 2023–24 but was slightly below the 59 in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a notably strong statewide standing for Native American students: the school ranked at the 95th percentile in 2022–23, compared with 52 overall. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, its ranking rose to the 71st percentile in 2025–26, 14 points above the school’s overall percentile. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15:1, below the nearby-school average of 16.3:1. ELA and math results are available for only one year, so their trends cannot be assessed.
