Summary:
Zip code 85713 has nine elementary schools in Tucson Unified District, serving grade spans from PK–5 to PK–8. Among the eight schools with reported all-grades results, average proficiency is 21% in ELA and 16% in math, compared with state averages of 41% and 33%; the averages are also below the district’s 29% in ELA and 21% in math. The clearest standout is Henry Hank Oyama: its 43% math proficiency is 10 percentage points above the state, while every other reported school is between 6% and 19%.
Oyama also leads in ELA at 33%, though that is 8 points below the state. At the other end, Pueblo Gardens Elementary has the lowest reported results in both subjects: 13% in ELA and 6% in math, respectively 28 and 27 points below state results. Mission View Elementary School is a mixed case: its 28% ELA result is second-highest, but its 15% math result is below the group average. Grade-level results add useful contrasts: Cavett Elementary School has 50% grade-5 math proficiency, above the state’s 38%, and Borton Primary Magnet School has 37% grade-5 science proficiency, compared with 34% statewide.
SchoolDigger rankings show a mixed picture over time, not a clear area-wide rise or fall: Ochoa Elementary School rose 35 percentile points in its listed history, while Cavett fell 28 and Holladay Intermediate Magnet School fell 37. In the latest SchoolDigger rankings, Oyama is 491 of 900 schools, in the 45th percentile with 2 stars; Hollinger K-8 School is 819 of 900, in the 9th percentile with 0 stars. Enrollment and student-teacher ratios do not neatly track results: Borton has 268 students and a ratio of 8.8, while Lynn Urquides has 419 students and a ratio of 12.4; Oyama has the highest reported ratio, 16.5, yet the strongest math result. All-grades scores are suppressed for Holladay, and free/reduced-lunch rates are unavailable for every school; SchoolDigger ranking changes are not test-score changes.
