Summary

Pima High School serves 335 students in grades 9–12 in Pima, Arizona, and is part of the Pima Unified District. Its results vary by subject: mathematics is comparatively strong, while English language arts (ELA) trails the state and science has weakened sharply. The clearest current concern is science: proficiency fell from 33% in 2022–2023 to 17% in 2024–2025, leaving Pima 2 points below Arizona’s 19%.

Mathematics is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state, district, and nearby schools with reported results. In 2025–2026, 31% of students were proficient in math, compared with 33% statewide and 26% in the district; Pima also exceeded Safford High School at 20%, though it was below Thatcher High School at 35%. ELA is a weaker point: Pima’s 32% was 9 points below the state, equal to the district and Safford, and 10 points below Thatcher. Pima’s 11th-grade results show the same contrast, with 31% proficient in math and 32% in ELA.

SchoolDigger ranks Pima in the 46th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, with 2 stars; its percentile has fallen 29 points since a high of 75 in 2022–2023. Its current standing is between Thatcher’s 57th percentile and Safford’s 36th. The student-teacher ratio was 15.4 in 2024–2025, lower than the ratios reported for those two traditional nearby high schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show a notable difference for student groups: English learners ranked in the 79th percentile in 2021–2022, compared with 51st overall, while White students ranked in the 21st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 46th overall. The school’s older 2021–2022 graduation rate was 90%, above Arizona’s 77%; subgroup counts are not provided.
