791^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 900 Arizona Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of Arizona elementary schools

Summary

Los Amigos Elementary School serves 613 students in grades K–6 in Tucson’s Sunnyside Unified District. In 2025–26, 27% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 20% in math. The most important finding is that the school performs better than most nearby schools, but its results remain substantially below state averages.

Among nearby schools with reported all-grade results, Los Amigos ranked second in ELA and third in math; its 27% ELA and 20% math results were about 6 and 4 percentage points above nearby-school averages. They also topped the Sunnyside Unified District results of 23% in ELA and 14% in math, but trailed state averages of 41% and 33%. Results vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA was a relative strength at 30%, 8 points above the district, while fifth-grade math was a weak spot at 16%, below the district’s 19%, the state’s 38%, and nearby La Paloma Academy-South at 22%.

Fifth-grade science proficiency rose from 13% in 2022–23 to 22% in 2023–24, then slipped to 19% in 2024–25—6 points higher than in the first year, but still 15 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 46th percentile in 2017–18 to the 12th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26. Its statewide ranking for English Language Learner students also dropped sharply, from the 79th percentile in 2017–18 to the 18th in 2022–23, indicating a much lower relative standing for that group in the later year. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 16.2, and the 2022–23 free/reduced-lunch rate was 86%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results. Some grade-level scores are suppressed, so those comparisons are incomplete.
