Better than 21% of Arizona elementary schools

Summary

Roberts Naylor is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with 611 students. The school has consistently received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other Arizona elementary schools.

Roberts Naylor faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21% of 5th graders were proficient or better in science, compared to 24% for the district and 34% for the state. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.9% to 6.6% over the past few years. Additionally, the school serves a high-needs student population, with 86.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

While the nearby schools, such as W. Arthur Sewel Elementary and Borman K-8, generally outperform Roberts Naylor across a range of metrics, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For instance, the school's special education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of Arizona elementary schools in this category, while the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Arizona schools. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the specific needs of Roberts Naylor's diverse student population.
