Summary

Sahuarita High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 and 1,215 students in Sahuarita, Arizona, as part of the Sahuarita Unified District. Its latest all-grades test results are slightly below state and district averages, but its 11th-grade science results are above both. The clearest strength is graduation: 92% of students graduated in 2024–25, compared with 80% statewide.

Science is Sahuarita’s strongest subject against state and district results: 24% of 11th graders were proficient in 2024–25, versus 19% statewide and 20% districtwide. In 2025–26, all-grades English language arts proficiency was 39% at Sahuarita, below the state’s 41% and the district’s 44%; math was 32%, compared with 33% statewide and 35% districtwide. Nearby comparisons are mixed: Sahuarita was just above Walden Grove High School in ELA (39% versus 38%) but below it in math (32% versus 34%). It was well behind Andrada Polytechnic High School in both ELA (56%) and math (48%); in science, Sahuarita’s 24% was above Walden’s 18% but below Andrada’s 35%.

Sahuarita’s SchoolDigger standing has improved: it rose from the 37th percentile in 2023–24 to the 51st in 2025–26, earning 3 stars. That puts it close to Walden Grove, at the 52nd percentile and 3 stars, while Andrada is at the 77th percentile and 4 stars. The student-teacher ratio increased from 17.6 in 2022–23 to 22.0 in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings suggest lower relative measured effectiveness for Asian students—the subgroup was at the 22nd percentile versus 57th overall in 2020–21, and 9th versus 53rd in 2021–22—while English language learner students ranked higher, at the 91st versus 57th percentile and 79th versus 53rd in those years.
