Summary:
The 85653 zip code area has only one middle school, Marana Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 and is part of the Marana Unified District. This public school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Arizona middle schools over the past three years, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Marana Middle School's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and math all significantly below the district and state averages. The school's 5.2% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year is also higher than the typical middle school. While the school's spending of $9,743 per student in 2021-2022 is higher than the national average, it does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests Marana Middle School is struggling academically and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student performance and outcomes. The school's low rankings, below-average test scores, and high dropout rate indicate there is room for significant improvement in order to better serve the students in this community.
