Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 85705 include 25 schools: 12 elementary, two middle, seven high schools and four alternative schools, serving students across elementary, middle and high school grades. The latest reported English language arts (ELA) and math results are from 2025–2026; science results are from 2024–2025. The clearest area-wide takeaway is that reported all-grades results average below state figures: 30% in ELA versus 41% statewide, and 23% in math versus 33% statewide, gaps of 12 and 10 percentage points.
Academy of Math and Science leads reported all-grades results, with 43% proficient in ELA and 45% in math. Its ELA result is 2 points above the next-highest, Flowing Wells High School at 41%; its math result is 6 points higher than Flowing Wells High’s 39% and 12 points above the state. At the lower end, Amphitheater High School has the lowest reported ELA result, 15%—26 points below the state and 28 below the leader. Amphitheater Middle School has the lowest reported math result, 8%, 25 points below the state and 37 below the leader. Same-grade results add useful context: Academy of Math and Science reports 57% in eighth-grade ELA and 65% in eighth-grade math, compared with state results of 39% and 30%.
SchoolDigger percentile standings improved on average for the 11 schools with results in both 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, rising from 24 to 29; however, that ranking change does not establish that test proficiency rose. Flowing Wells High School gained 16 percentile points and Tucson Magnet High School gained 14, while Academy of Mathematics and Science South fell 7. The two Academy schools have nearly identical enrollment—580 and 578 students—but differ by 14 points in ELA and 20 in math; their student-teacher ratios are 15.2 and 18.6. Graduation rates also offer a different perspective: Flowing Wells High reports 92%, and Tucson Magnet 89%, both above the 80% state rate, while Tucson Magnet’s all-grades proficiency remains below state results.
