Summary

Blenman Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 5 in Tucson and enrolls 317 students; 78% of students were reported eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022–23. In the latest supplied results, 19% were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 22% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide and 29% and 21% in Tucson Unified District. Math is close to the district result, but ELA is the clearest academic weakness: Blenman’s score was 22 points below the state and 10 below the district.

Nearby comparisons also make ELA a particular concern. Among nearby schools with reported results, Blenman’s 19% ELA score was tied for the lowest, with John B. Wright Elementary School and Cragin Elementary School; the nearby average was 34%. Blenman’s 22% in math was 7 points below the nearby average of 29%, though 1 point above its district. Grade-level results flag fourth-grade ELA (24%, compared with 47% statewide and 36% in the district) and fifth-grade math (26%, compared with 38% statewide and 27% in the district). The supplied fifth-grade science result was 10% in 2022–23, below the state’s 34% and district’s 22%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, some peer results are unavailable, and the science result is older, so these comparisons are context rather than exact like-for-like measures.

SchoolDigger’s overall ranking remains low: Blenman was at the 9th percentile and received 0 stars in 2025–26, down from the 19th percentile in 2012–13; it reached 13 in 2022–23 after falling to 4 in 2018–19. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings offer a more positive finding for two student groups: in 2022–23, the school ranked at the 67th percentile for serving students in special education and the 61st percentile for serving homeless students, compared with the 13th percentile overall. Blenman’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.8, higher than the nearby reported average of 12; only Sam Hughes Elementary was higher, at 17.7. The reported lunch-eligibility rate provides additional context, but nearby rates were not supplied for comparison.
