Summary

Davis-Romero Bilingual Elementary Magnet School serves 295 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Tucson, within the Tucson Unified District. Its 2025–26 results are above both state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, with ELA the clearest strength: 55% of students are proficient, compared with 41% statewide and 29% districtwide. The school’s most important distinction is its strong ELA performance across these comparisons.

Compared with nearby schools, Davis-Romero ranks second in both subjects among the three same-district, prekindergarten-through-fifth-grade schools with reported results: Tully Elementary Accelerated Magnet School, Manzo Elementary School and Carrillo Intermediate Magnet School. Its ELA score is 18 points above their average of 37%, while its 36% math score is 2 points above their 34% average. Math is above the state’s 33% and the district’s 21%, but fifth grade is a concern: proficiency is 31%, 7 points below the state and lower than reported results at Miles-Exploratory Learning Center, Carrillo and Roskruge Bilingual Magnet Middle School. Fifth-grade ELA is 42%, while third- and fourth-grade ELA are both 61%.

SchoolDigger’s overall rating has recovered from the 42nd percentile in 2021–22 to the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26, though it remains below its earlier high of the 69th percentile. Its fifth-grade science result also fluctuated, from 37% in 2022–23 to 25% in 2023–24 and 40% in 2024–25; the latest score is 6 points above the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings show different results for some groups: the Male Students percentile fell from 56 in 2023–24 to 37 in 2024–25, compared with 54 overall; the African American Students percentile was 76 in 2022–23, compared with 58 overall. These rankings describe how well the school serves each group. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 14.7, higher than most nearby schools with data, and the supplied free/reduced-lunch rate was 39% in 2022–23; neither figure explains the test results. ELA and math scores are available for one year, so their trends cannot be assessed.
