Summary:
The elementary-school list for ZIP code 85658 contains one school, Dove Mountain K-8, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 1,004 students in Marana Unified District. Its reported results are above Arizona’s in every listed grade and subject, making it a strong performer against the state benchmarks provided.
Within the school, grade 4 is the standout for both tested subjects: 69% were proficient in ELA and 72% in math, respectively 22 and 32 percentage points above Arizona. The lowest reported result is grade 7 math at 39%, but that is still 12 points above the state’s 27%. Across all grades, ELA proficiency was 60% compared with 41% statewide and 44% districtwide; math was 53% compared with 33% statewide and 38% districtwide. Science results were also higher than the state’s: 55% in grade 5 versus 34%, and 54% in grade 8 versus 30%. These are grade-level differences within one school, not a comparison of local schools.
SchoolDigger’s ranking improved in the latest year shown, though not in a steady year-by-year climb: the school ranked 203 of 912 schools in 2023–2024, 208 of 909 in 2024–2025, and 179 of 900 in 2025–2026, moving up 29 places and 3 percentile points from the prior year. Results vary more by grade in math, ranging from 39% to 72%, than in ELA, which ranges from 49% to 69%; the school’s reported student-teacher ratio is 19.1. The supplied information does not show a multi-year trend in test scores or report a free/reduced-lunch rate, and one school cannot establish a local school-to-school ranking.
