Summary

Lineweaver Elementary School serves 525 students in PK–5 in Tucson and is part of the Tucson Unified District, which SchoolDigger ranks at the 25th percentile with 1 star. The school’s results are mixed, with stronger math than English language arts (ELA) overall and noticeable differences across grades. Its clearest strength is fifth-grade math: 49% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 27% districtwide.

Overall math is a strength compared with the state, district, and nearby-school average: 38% were proficient, versus 33% statewide, 21% districtwide, and 29% across nearby schools with reported results. ELA is more mixed: 36% proficiency was above the district’s 29% and the nearby average of 31%, but below Arizona’s 41%. The grade-level pattern matters: third-grade ELA was 28%, below the state’s 39%, and third- and fourth-grade math were also below state results. Lineweaver had the lowest reported third- and fourth-grade math scores among five nearby schools reporting results for those grades, but fifth-grade math reversed that pattern, ranking second among four nearby schools with results.

SchoolDigger’s overall rating fell from 4 stars to 2, while its percentile declined from 75 in 2022–2023 to 43 in 2025–2026; its current rank is 512 of 900. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 7th in 2025–2026. Its ranking for how well it serves White Students also dropped sharply, from the 68th to the 29th percentile over the same period. Fifth-grade science proficiency declined from 46% in 2022–2023 to 34% in 2024–2025, matching the state but below the nearby average of 44%. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 15.7, compared with 13.2 at nearby same-district schools; the reported free/reduced-price lunch rate was 58% in 2022–2023, with no comparable nearby figure.
