Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 85670

Elementary schools in zip code 85670 include three PK–8 schools in the Fort Huachuca Accommodation District: Colonel Johnston Elementary School, Colonel Smith Middle School and General Myer Elementary School. The available all-grades results put Smith and Myer above Arizona’s results in both English Language Arts and mathematics. Smith recorded 67% in English Language Arts and 49% in math, compared with state figures of 41% and 33%; Myer recorded 55% and 52%. The central takeaway is that both schools with reported results exceed the state in both subjects, though each has a different stronger subject.

Colonel Smith stands out in English Language Arts, leading General Myer by 12 percentage points, while Myer leads Smith in math by 3 points. Smith’s English Language Arts result is 26 points above the state, while Myer’s math result is 19 points above. Grade-level scores show that Myer’s results vary more: its English Language Arts scores span 30 points across grades 3–5, and its math scores span 26; Smith’s grade 6–8 results span 13 points in each subject. Science results are also above the state at both schools—Myer is 27 points higher in grade 5 and Smith is 22 points higher in grade 8—but the grades differ; Johnston has no supplied test scores, grade-level results cover different grades at the two reporting schools, and lunch-rate data are blank for all three.

General Myer’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile declined over its three reported years, from the 91st percentile in 2023–24 to the 83rd in 2024–25 and the 69th in 2025–26, even though its latest results remain above state proficiency figures. Those rankings measure relative statewide standing, not a change in test scores. School size and student–teacher ratios are similar at Smith and Myer: Smith has 258 students and a 14.1 ratio; Myer has 246 students and a 14.3 ratio. Johnston has 270 students and a 15.7 ratio. These figures do not point to a single school leading in both subjects.
