Summary

Walden Grove High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Sahuarita, Arizona, with 1,151 students. Its latest results are close to state proficiency levels, and its clearest strength is graduation: 93% of students graduated in 2024–2025, 13 percentage points above Arizona’s rate.

Among nearby schools, Walden Grove is strongest in math relative to the state and its closest comparison schools, but it is not the local proficiency leader. In 2025–2026, 34% of students were proficient in math, 1 point above the state and 2 points above Sahuarita High School; Walden Grove was 14 points behind Andrada Polytechnic High School. ELA proficiency was 38%, 3 points below the state and 6 below the Sahuarita Unified District. In 11th-grade science, Walden Grove’s 18% proficiency was below Sahuarita’s 24% and Andrada’s 35%. Graduation also edged the district rate by 1 point and Sahuarita’s by 1 point.

Results have shifted over time rather than improving steadily. Science proficiency rose from 19% in 2022–2023 to 24% the next year, then fell to 18%; the latest result was 1 point below the state and 2 below the district. Walden Grove’s overall SchoolDigger standing recovered to the 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, after dipping to the 46th percentile the year before, but remains below its 73rd-percentile high in 2020–2021. Its student-teacher ratio was 21.4 in 2024–2025, between Sahuarita’s 22 and Andrada’s 19.3; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 25% in 2022–2023. SchoolDigger’s recent statewide subgroup rankings were lower for White students (32nd percentile) and students with low socioeconomic status (31st) than for the school overall (52nd), reflecting differing rankings for how well the school serves those groups.
