Summary

Sahuarita Intermediate School serves 324 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Sahuarita Unified District in Sahuarita, AZ, a community where about 36% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is a consistent, mid-range performer overall, but its performance varies significantly across different student groups. For example, the school has shown exceptional results for African American students, ranking in the 90th percentile or higher in recent years. However, it has struggled recently with its White student population, which dropped to the 12th percentile. The school also spends notably less per student ($5,727) compared to nearby schools like Sahuarita Primary School ($9,487) and Continental Elementary School ($11,264).

When compared to its closest district peers, Sahuarita Intermediate is the lowest-ranked elementary school. In the 2024-2025 school year, it ranked in the 54th percentile, while Copper View Elementary ranked 62nd and Anza Trail ranked 61st. Anza Trail, located less than a mile away, outperformed Sahuarita Intermediate in every grade-level test, with a particularly large gap in 5th-grade math (57% proficient vs. 33%). While 4th-grade English Language Arts scores have been a consistent bright spot, 5th-grade math proficiency has declined over the past three years, falling below both the state and district averages.
