Summary:
The 10 schools in zip code 85635 include elementary, middle, high-school and alternative options, with a combined enrollment of 4,525 students. Results vary widely: the nine schools with reported all-grades scores averaged 38% in English language arts (ELA) and 27% in math, compared with state figures of 41% and 33%. The most important area-wide finding is that both averages fall below the state, with math farther behind.
Village Meadows Elementary School stands out, leading reported schools in ELA at 56% and sharing the math lead at 39%; it is 15 percentage points above the state in ELA and 6 points above in math. Town & Country Elementary School also has 39% in math, 6 points above the state. Among high schools, Buena High School has the strongest reported ELA result at 46%, and its 2024–25 graduation rate was 91%, compared with 80% statewide. At the lower end, Carmichael Elementary School has the lowest reported ELA and math results, 22% and 19%; Berean Academy has the lowest reported math result, 15%.
SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentiles suggest a modest overall rebound among five schools with three years of results: their unweighted average moved from the 56th percentile in 2023–24 to the 49th in 2024–25 and the 58th in 2025–26, up 2 points from the first year. The changes were uneven: Pueblo Del Sol Elementary School rose 13 points and Town & Country rose 12, while Center for Academic Success #5 - Sierra Vista K-8 fell 13 points; these rankings reflect relative standing, not changes in test scores. For a subject-specific contrast, Center for Academic Success #5 and Village Meadows both had 45% proficiency in 5th-grade science, while Carmichael had 30%. Among comparable K–6 schools, student-teacher ratios ranged from 16.0 at Bella Vista Elementary School to 18.7, with no consistent pattern linking lower ratios to stronger results. Some school results are suppressed, and schools serve different grade spans.
