Summary:
ZIP code 85634 has three middle-level schools, all in Baboquivari Unified School District #40: Indian Oasis Intermediate Elementary serves grades 4–6, Baboquivari Middle serves grades 7–8, and Alternative Middle serves grades 6–8. The clearest finding is that every reported all-grades proficiency result is below the matching state rate: Indian Oasis is 18 points below in ELA and 21 points below in math, while Baboquivari Middle is 14 points below in math.
Baboquivari Middle has the highest reported all-grades math rate, at 19%, compared with 12% at Indian Oasis—a 7-point difference. Indian Oasis has the only reported all-grades ELA result: 23%, compared with 41% statewide. Its reported grade-level results are also below state rates: fourth-grade ELA is 35% versus 47%, fifth-grade ELA is 19% versus 38%, and fourth-grade math is 16% versus 40%. One notable exception is Baboquivari Middle’s seventh-grade math, at 28% versus 27% statewide. Alternative Middle has no reported all-grades results, so it cannot be placed above or below the others based on proficiency.
SchoolDigger’s historical rankings place both schools with ranking data low in their statewide comparisons, though their listed paths differ: Baboquivari Middle moved from the 9th percentile in 2016–17 to the 1st in 2017–18 and the 2nd in 2022–23, while Alternative Middle rose from the 2nd percentile in 2012–13 to the 10th in 2022–23. These rankings are not evidence of a change in test scores over time. Enrollment and staffing also vary sharply: Indian Oasis has 246 students and a 15.3 student-teacher ratio, Baboquivari Middle has 151 students and a 14.3 ratio, and Alternative Middle has 6 students and a 2.3 ratio. Because the schools serve different grades and some results are suppressed, these figures do not support a complete like-for-like comparison.
