Elgin Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Elgin Elementary School serves 118 students from pre-K through grade 8 in Elgin, Arizona, as part of the Sonoita Elementary District. Its 2025–26 results show particularly strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA): 69% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength against both the state and nearby schools, while math is strong but less distinctive locally. Elgin’s 2025–26 proficiency was 69% in ELA and 47% in math, matching district figures and exceeding state results by 28 and 14 percentage points, respectively. Among eight nearby schools with reported all-grades results, Elgin ranked first in ELA, above a local average of 41%, and third in math, with 47% compared with a local average of 30% and top results of 52% and 49%. Upper-grade results were also strong: Elgin reported 70% proficiency in grade 7 ELA and 85% in grade 8 ELA; its grade 7 math result was 60%.

SchoolDigger ranked Elgin at the 74th percentile and awarded it four stars in 2022–23, placing it ahead of the four nearby schools with rankings for that same year. Its overall percentile has varied, from 90 in 2010–11 to 50 in 2013–14, then rising from 59 in 2021–22 to 74 in 2022–23. The school’s reported student–teacher ratio fell from 13.5 in 2022–23 to 7.1 in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio; its enrollment is also well below the nearby average of 246. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure for Hispanic students fell from the 75th percentile in 2020–21 to the 57th in 2022–23, below the school’s overall 74th percentile; its measure for White students rose from the 14th percentile in 2021–22 to the 65th in 2022–23. The available subject scores do not establish a multi-year trend, and the supplied data do not include test counts.

Since the school lost Mrs. Neal, it has gone down hill. There is now a patronizing, condescending Leader in her place. The children often complain and it seems morale has dropped. Close Quote
