891^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 900 Arizona Elementary Schools

Better than 1% of Arizona elementary schools

Summary

Raul Grijalva Elementary School serves 472 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Tucson. In 2025–26, 18% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 12% in math, compared with 29% and 21% in the Tucson Unified District and 41% and 33% statewide. The most important finding is that proficiency is substantially below district and Arizona results in both subjects.

Among 11 nearby schools, Raul Grijalva had the third-lowest ELA result and the fifth-lowest math result; its scores were also below the nearby-school averages of 23% in ELA and 17% in math. Math was marginally stronger relative to comparison groups: its gaps to the district, state and nearby average were 9, 21 and 5 percentage points, compared with ELA gaps of 11, 23 and 5 points. Third-grade results were especially low: ELA proficiency was 17%, versus 26% for the district and 39% statewide, while math was 14%, versus 24% and 38%. The largest state gap in the supplied results was in fifth-grade science: 10% proficiency compared with 34% statewide.

SchoolDigger’s overall ranking was 1st percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, the lowest percentile among nearby schools with a ranking supplied. It had reached the 11th percentile in 2023–24 before falling 10 points by 2025–26; its 2015–16 percentile was 3. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 17, close to the nearby average of 18, and the reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 80% in 2022–23. Some earlier SchoolDigger group rankings were notably higher than the school’s overall standing: the school ranked at the 55th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2020–21, versus 5th overall, and at the 53rd percentile for White students in 2022–23, versus 3rd overall. These group rankings and the science result are from earlier years, and nearby lunch-rate comparisons were not supplied.
