Public Grades K-6

Summary

Summit View Elementary is a public elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 404 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Sunnyside Unified District, which is ranked 451 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Summit View Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools. The school's academic performance is well below state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from just 2% to 19% in mathematics and 7% to 19% in English Language Arts.

When compared to nearby schools in the Sunnyside Unified District, such as Mission Manor Elementary and Ocotillo Early Learning Elementary, Summit View Elementary stands out as the worst performer academically, with the lowest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has the highest percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to its challenges in improving educational outcomes for its students.
