Summary:
The 85635 zip code of Sierra Vista, Arizona is home to 7 elementary schools, including a mix of public and public charter institutions serving grades ranging from pre-K to 8th grade. The schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, with some standouts like Leman Academy of Excellence-Sierra Vista and Village Meadows Elementary School consistently ranking in the top half of Arizona elementary schools, while others like Town & Country Elementary School and Pueblo Del Sol Elementary School perform in the bottom half.
The top-performing schools in the area, such as Leman Academy and Village Meadows, boast strong proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, often exceeding state and district averages. In contrast, the lower-performing schools show more varied results, with some struggling to meet proficiency benchmarks. Factors beyond just funding and demographics, such as teaching quality and school leadership, may be contributing to these differences in academic outcomes.
Interestingly, the two public charter schools in the data set, Leman Academy of Excellence-Sierra Vista and Center for Academic Success #5 - Sierra Vista K-8, appear to be outperforming many of the traditional public schools in the area, particularly in English Language Arts. This aligns with broader trends of charter school success in Arizona. However, higher spending per student at the charter schools does not necessarily translate to higher test scores across the board, as evidenced by the performance of Carmichael Elementary School.
