Summary:
The 11 elementary schools in ZIP code 85122 serve different grade spans, and their results vary widely. In 2025–26, the schools averaged 30% proficient in all-grades English language arts (ELA) and 27% in math, compared with Arizona’s 41% and 33%. The clearest finding is that Mary C O'Brien Elementary School leads the area by a wide margin in both subjects.
Mary C O'Brien Elementary School is the standout, with 74% proficient in ELA and 72% in math—33 and 39 points above state rates. Center for Online and Innovative Learning is also above the state overall, at 43% in ELA and 36% in math. At the other end, Palo Verde School and Saguaro Elementary School each have 14% in ELA, 27 points below the state; math is 13% at Palo Verde and 12% at Saguaro, with Saguaro 21 points below the state. The gap between the highest and lowest school results is 60 points in each subject.
SchoolDigger’s average statewide rank percentile for 10 schools was unchanged at 24% from 2023–24 to 2025–26, although individual schools moved: The Grande Innovation rose 17 points, while Center for Online and Innovative Learning fell 30; these ranks reflect relative standing, not changes in proficiency. Grade-level results give families another useful comparison: Center reported 56% ELA proficiency in grade 7 versus 43% statewide, and 71% in grade 8 versus 39%. Ratios and results do not follow one simple pattern: Mary had a 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio, while McCartney Ranch Elementary School had 29:1 but was 3 points above the state in math. Center also led the five schools with reported grade 5 science results, at 46% versus 34% statewide. Because schools serve different grades and some figures are unavailable, families may find grade-specific results more informative than area averages.
