Top rankedSahuarita Middle School316^th of 552 Arizona middle schools

Summary:

The 85629 zip code in Arizona is home to a single public middle school, Sahuarita Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively high enrollment of 509 students, its academic performance has been consistently below district and state averages, with low proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

Sahuarita Middle School's statewide ranking has declined from 306 out of 550 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 316 out of 552 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to its peers. The school's dropout rate of 5.2% in 2023-2024 is also a concern, and its spending per student of $5,799 in 2021-2022 is on the lower end, which could be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

Overall, the data suggests that Sahuarita Middle School is an underperforming school within the Sahuarita Unified District, with declining statewide rankings, low test scores, and a high dropout rate. Further investigation into the school's resources, teaching practices, and student support systems may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and help the school better serve its student population.
