Summary:
ZIP code 85629 has seven elementary and K–8 schools serving a mix of grade spans, from primary grades through eighth grade; six report all-grade English language arts (ELA) results and five report math results. The area’s scores are uneven: all-grade ELA ranges from 25% to 53% proficient, and math from 23% to 48%. The clearest overall finding is that Copper View Elementary School leads the reported all-grade results in both subjects.
Copper View Elementary School has 53% proficient in ELA, 12 percentage points above the state’s 41%, and 48% in math, 15 points above the state’s 33%. At the other end, Sopori Elementary School has the lowest reported all-grade ELA result at 25%, 16 points below state; its math result is suppressed. Great Expectations Academy has the lowest reported all-grade math result, 23%, 10 points below state. Grade-level results also reveal important differences: Wrightson Ridge K-8 School reaches 66% in fourth-grade math, 26 points above state, while Sahuarita Intermediate School has 35%, 5 points below state. Fifth-grade science averages about 40% across four reporting schools, above the state’s 34%, though Copper View is below state at 32%.
SchoolDigger’s recent rankings are mixed rather than uniformly improving: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Anza Trail rose from the 58th to the 60th percentile, Wrightson Ridge from the 57th to the 61st, and Copper View fell from the 75th to the 65th; Sahuarita Intermediate moved from the 45th to the 46th. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger gave three stars to Anza Trail, Wrightson Ridge, and Copper View, and two to Sahuarita Intermediate. Ratios do not show a simple connection with results: Copper View has the highest reported ratio, 19.8 students per teacher, while Sopori has the lowest, 9.5. Sahuarita Primary reports no test scores, and schools differ in the grades they serve.
