Across the 12 schools with reported all-grades results, average proficiency was about 59% in ELA and 57% in math, above the state’s 41% and 33%; still, school results varied by as much as 23 points in ELA and 28 points in math. The clearest overall standout is Senita Valley Elementary School, which led reported schools in both subjects at 73%.
Several schools stand out in particular grades and subjects, while other results flag areas for closer attention. Senita Valley also posted strong grade 3–5 ELA results of 70%–77% and math results of 69%–76%. In grade 8, Corona Foothills Middle School led ELA at 69% and science at 67%, while Vail Academy & High School led math at 68%. At the lower end of selected comparisons, Copper Ridge Elementary had the lowest reported grade 3 ELA result, 35%, and Old Vail Middle School had the lowest reported grade 8 results in ELA (47%) and math (42%). Pantano High School had a 49% graduation rate in 2024–25, compared with 80% statewide and 93% districtwide; its proficiency results are suppressed, so its test performance cannot be compared.
SchoolDigger’s statewide percentiles show a small average decline over time, but individual schools moved in different directions: across 10 schools, the average fell from 82 to 80 between 2023–24 and 2025–26; Copper Ridge fell 19 points, while Acacia Elementary School and Sycamore Elementary School each rose 6. These are SchoolDigger ranking percentiles, not test-score changes. Staffing ratios also do not show a simple match with achievement: Senita Valley had an 18.6 student-teacher ratio and led overall, while Ocotillo Ridge Elementary had a lower 13.7 ratio and also scored strongly.
