Summary:
The 85621 zip code area of Nogales, Arizona is home to 16 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Nogales Unified District, except for 2 charter schools.
A few schools stand out in this area. Mexicayotl Charter School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with very high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Little Red Schoolhouse, a small public elementary/middle school, also performs very well, ranking in the top 25% of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, Robert Bracker Elementary has strong academic performance, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages.
However, the Nogales Unified District as a whole is struggling, with low rankings, high dropout rates, and subpar test scores compared to state averages. The district's high schools have a 78.4% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, and a 5.2% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. While the two charter schools in the area appear to be outperforming the district-run public schools, addressing the disparities and improving outcomes for all students should be a priority for local education stakeholders.
