Summary:

ZIP code 85364 has 19 elementary schools, with grade spans ranging from PK–5 to K–8. Across the 18 schools with reported All Grades results, the average was 34% in ELA and 28% in mathematics, below state figures of 41% and 33%; scores ranged from 15% to 64% in ELA and 10% to 53% in mathematics. The most important takeaway is that results are uneven: the area averages are below state levels, but individual schools perform well above and well below them.

Gowan Science Academy stands out at the top, with 64% in ELA and 53% in mathematics—23 and 20 points above the state, respectively. At the other end, Pecan Grove Elementary School had the lowest All Grades results, at 15% in ELA and 10% in mathematics, while Salida Del Sol Elementary was also among the lowest, with 19% and 17%. In 5th-grade science, Gowan Science Academy led with 59%, 25 points above the state; Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ was lowest at 17%. Harvest’s mathematics result was near the state figure, despite much lower ELA and science results.

SchoolDigger’s ranking histories show mixed movement, not a clear upward trend: among 13 schools with comparable 2023–24 and 2025–26 rankings, six rose and seven fell; the average change was up 3 points, while the median change was down 1 point. Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ rose 22 percentile points and Palmcroft Elementary School rose 21, while Pueblo Elementary School fell 9 and Ronald Reagan Fundamental School fell 8. Enrollment and listed student–teacher ratios do not neatly predict results: Gowan Science Academy has 816 students and a 25.9-to-1 ratio yet leads the reported scores, while AmeriSchools Academy - Yuma has 102 students and a 7.2-to-1 ratio, with ELA at the state level and mathematics below it. Schools have different grade spans, some scores are unavailable, and free/reduced-lunch rates are not provided.
