Summary:

ZIP code 85708 has one school, Borman K-8 School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 in Tucson Unified District. It enrolls 459 students and reports a student–teacher ratio of 15.5:1. In 2025–26, 56% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, while 38% were proficient in math, compared with 33% statewide. The most important finding is that Borman is above the state in both subjects, with a substantially larger advantage in ELA.

Because Borman is the ZIP code’s only listed school, there is no meaningful local top-or-bottom comparison; its grades 6–8 math results are suppressed, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported. Against the state, Borman’s clearest grade-level strength is ELA in grade 7, where proficiency is 68% versus 43% statewide, a 25-point advantage; it is also ahead in grades 3, 4, 5 and 8. Grade 6 is the exception: 39% at Borman versus 41% statewide. In reported math grades 3–5, Borman is ahead by 7–9 percentage points. The 2024–25 science results are also above state levels: by 11 points in grade 5 and 10 points in grade 8.

SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking fell from 82nd in 2023–24 to 67th in 2024–25, then edged up to 68th in 2025–26—a net decline of 14 percentile points, which is a ranking change rather than evidence of a test-score trend. The reported 15.5:1 student–teacher ratio offers additional context, but the available information does not show how it relates to achievement. For families weighing the school’s results, the key pattern is strong overall performance relative to the state alongside an ELA dip in grade 6; the positive math comparison applies only to grades with reported results.
