Summary:
Zip code 85543 has six schools—two elementary schools, one junior high, two high schools and one alternative school—serving students from elementary through high school; four report 2025–26 AASA results. The scores show sharply different school profiles: the three reporting Pima schools are below state results in both subjects, while Discovery Plus Academy is well above them. Discovery Plus is the clearest standout, with 74% proficiency in ELA and 55% in math, leading the next-highest reported scores by 40 and 24 percentage points, respectively.
Among schools with reported all-grades results, Discovery Plus leads in both subjects; among the other schools, Pima Junior High School leads in ELA at 34%, 2 points above Pima High School, while Pima High leads in math at 31%. The lowest reported ELA score is Pima Elementary School’s 31%, 10 points below the state; Junior High has the lowest math score, 24%, or 9 points below state. Same-grade results reinforce the elementary-school difference: Discovery Plus leads Pima Elementary by 40 points in grade 3 ELA, 40 in grade 4 ELA and 45 in grade 5 ELA, and is above state in each listed grade.
SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings show mixed recent movement: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Pima Elementary and Pima High each fell 13 points, while Junior High and Discovery Plus each gained 5; Discovery Plus also rose from four to five stars. Grade-level results offer useful nuance: Pima Junior High’s grade 8 math was 2 points above state, even though its grade 7 math was 11 points below. Discovery Plus has a lower student–teacher ratio than Pima Elementary (14.8 versus 16.4), but these figures alone do not explain the score difference; free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for all schools. Results are unavailable for Dan Hinton Accommodation School, and Gila Valley Learning Center’s test scores are suppressed.
