Summary:
The 85550 elementary-school list contains one school, Rice Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 with 673 students in the San Carlos Unified District. Rice’s reported 2025–26 proficiency is below Arizona’s in every subject-and-grade comparison. The most important finding is its fourth-grade ELA result: 13% proficient, compared with 47% statewide—a 34-point gap.
Because Rice is the only school in the list, there is no local school at the top or bottom to compare it with; within Rice, math is the stronger subject in the available grade-level results. Fourth-grade math proficiency is 19%, versus 13% in ELA, and third-grade math is 17%, versus 11% in ELA. Math is also relatively closer to the state results: across all grades, Rice is 21 points behind Arizona in math and 32 points behind in ELA. The other reported gaps are 21 points in grade 3 math, 28 in grade 3 ELA, and 21 in grade 4 math.
SchoolDigger’s ranking history places Rice 1,000th of 1,000 schools in 2021–22, 1,242nd of 1,245 in 2022–23, and 896th of 900 in 2025–26; it reports 0 stars and a 0th-percentile value for the listed years. These rankings do not show a clear academic trend. Rice’s student-teacher ratio is 13.4, and its listed per-student spending was $13,701 in 2021–22; no free/reduced-lunch rate is provided. Because this is the only listed school and test scores are available for 2025–26 alone, with grade 5 results suppressed, the data cannot establish local school-to-school differences or a proficiency trend.
