Summary:
Zip code 85611 has one school, Elgin Elementary School, serving grades PK–8 in Sonoita Elementary District. The school enrolls 118 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 7.1. In 2025–26 AASA results, 69% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide; in math, the figures were 47% at the school and 33% statewide. The clearest takeaway is that Elgin’s reported all-grades results are above Arizona’s in both subjects, with a larger advantage in ELA: 28 percentage points, compared with 14 points in math.
Elgin also stands out in the reported middle-grade results, especially eighth-grade ELA. Eighth-grade ELA proficiency was 85%, 46 points above Arizona’s 39%; seventh-grade ELA was 70%, 27 points above the state’s 43%. Seventh-grade math was 60%, 33 points above Arizona’s 27%. These figures show strong results in the grades and subjects with reported school scores; the size of the advantage varies by grade and subject.
SchoolDigger’s ranking history shows improved relative standing from 2020–21 to 2022–23, though with a dip in between: Elgin moved from the 64th percentile to the 59th, then to the 74th, a net gain of 10 percentile points. Its rank shifted from 441 of 1,226 schools to 411 of 1,000, then to 324 of 1,245, and its SchoolDigger rating rose from three stars to four. The list does not provide a free/reduced-lunch rate, and the school’s enrollment, ratio, and PK–8 grade span cannot be compared with other local schools. Because this is the only school listed and achievement results are available only for 2025–26, the data provide neither a within-area school comparison nor a test-score trend.
