Summary:
The 85711 zip code area of Tucson, Arizona is home to a diverse mix of 5 high schools, including both public and public charter institutions. While the schools vary in size, performance, and other key metrics, University High School stands out as the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 12 high schools in the state.
University High School boasts exceptional academic achievement, with 98% of 11th graders proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also maintains a very high 4-year graduation rate of 78.4%. In contrast, Rincon High School and Canyon Rose Academy appear to be the lower-performing schools in the group, with test scores well below the state averages and lower state rankings.
The data reveals significant disparities in school quality and student outcomes within the 85711 zip code area. While the 4-year graduation rates and dropout rates are relatively consistent across the schools, the wide range in per-student spending, from $5,015 at University High School to $11,554 at Sky Islands, suggests potential differences in resource allocation that may impact school performance. Further research would be needed to fully understand the drivers of these differences and how to promote more equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the region.
