Summary:

ZIP code 85711 has 12 schools: six elementary schools, one middle school, four high schools and one alternative school, serving students from elementary grades through high school. Results vary widely: among the nine schools with reported all-grade scores, ELA ranges from 19% to 96% and math from 12% to 97%. The clearest takeaway is that the area’s math average is slightly above the state rate only because of one exceptional school; the typical reporting school is below state rates in both subjects.

University High School leads the reported results at 96% in ELA and 97% in math—55 and 64 points above state rates, respectively—and SchoolDigger ranks it second of 256 statewide, with five stars. At the other end, Myers-Ganoung Elementary School has the lowest reported rates, at 19% in ELA and 12% in math. W Arthur Sewel Elementary School stands out among elementary schools, with 40% ELA and 46% math; its fifth-grade science rate is 48%, 14 points above the state. Results can differ by subject: Roberts Naylor has 23% ELA and 22% math, but its third-grade math rate of 41% is above the state’s 38%.

SchoolDigger’s average percentile for seven schools with three-year records slipped from 52 to 47 between 2023–24 and 2025–26, a four-point decline, though individual schools moved in different directions: Roberts Naylor rose 14 points, while W Arthur Sewel fell 23. Ratios do not form a simple guide to results: University’s ratio is 23.1 students per teacher, the highest reported, while Rincon High School has a lower 16.9 ratio but substantially lower test scores. Rincon’s completion figures offer another perspective: its graduation rate rounds to 90%, compared with 80% statewide, and its dropout rate rounds to 2%, compared with 5%. Three schools have suppressed all-grade test results, and free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable.
