Summary:
ZIP code 85712 in Tucson includes 10 schools: nine elementary schools and one middle school. Among the eight schools with reported 2025–26 all-grades results, the average was 32% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, and 25% in mathematics, compared with 33% statewide. The clearest area-wide finding is that no school with a reported all-grades mathematics score reached the state result, while two schools topped the state in ELA.
Liberty Traditional Charter School – Saddleback led ELA at 48%, 7 percentage points above the state; Ida Flood Dodge Traditional Middle Magnet School followed at 47%, 6 points above. In mathematics, Dodge, La Paloma Academy Marana and Liberty tied at 32%, each 1 point below the state. At the lower end, John B Wright Elementary School had the lowest reported ELA result, 19%—22 points below the state—while Davidson Elementary School had the lowest mathematics result, 17%, or 16 points below. Grade-level results add useful distinctions: Liberty posted standout third- and fourth-grade scores, while Dodge led seventh-grade ELA and eighth-grade mathematics; Leman Academy of Excellence – Central Tucson had the highest reported fifth-grade mathematics result.
SchoolDigger’s ranking percentiles show mixed movement, not a shared trend in test proficiency: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Leman rose from the 38th to the 47th percentile, La Paloma Academy from the 20th to the 30th, and Dodge from the 50th to the 58th; Liberty dipped and recovered, from the 92nd to the 65th and then the 89th percentile. SchoolDigger’s four-school average for schools with both years available rose from the 50th to the 56th percentile. Ratios also do not neatly track results: Liberty’s 34.5 students per teacher was the highest listed, while Davidson’s 10.1 was the lowest, yet Liberty led ELA and Davidson had the lowest mathematics score. Two schools’ all-grades scores are suppressed, and the single AASA year available cannot show whether proficiency is rising or falling.
