Summary

Bravie T. Soto Elementary School serves 229 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Somerton, part of the Somerton Elementary District. SchoolDigger ranks it in the 67th percentile statewide, the highest standing among nine nearby schools with data. Its most striking result is sixth-grade math: 72% of students were proficient, compared with 26% in the district and 30% statewide.

Sixth grade is also a bright spot in ELA, with 53% proficiency versus 34% in the district and 41% statewide; both sixth-grade results were the strongest among nearby schools. Across all grades, ELA is a relative strength: 33% proficiency is 3 points above the district, 8 below the state, and about 2 points above the nearby average. It tied Tierra Del Sol Elementary School, with four nearby schools scoring higher and four lower. All-grade math was 27%—6 points above the district, but 6 below the state and 2 below the nearby average. Fourth-grade ELA was 41%, the second-highest reported result among nearby schools. Overall, the school’s strong sixth-grade results sit alongside more mixed all-grade scores.

SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 25 in 2022–23 to 57 in 2024–25 and 67 in 2025–26, a 42-point increase across that period; its latest ranking is 298 of 900, with 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s measure for “Low Socio Economic Status Students” rose even more sharply, from the 37th percentile to the 93rd, and stood 26 points above the school’s overall percentile in 2025–26. The school enrolled fewer students than nearby schools, which ranged from 391 to 760, and its student-teacher ratio was 19, compared with the nearby average of 21.2. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was about 2% in 2022–23. A rising SchoolDigger ranking does not establish a test-score trend: comparable AASA results are available only for 2025–26, and some grade-level scores were suppressed.
