Summary:
The 85714 zip code area in Tucson, Arizona is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. These schools are spread across different districts, such as Tucson Unified District and a few public charter school districts.
Van Buskirk Elementary School stands out as a top performer in the area, ranking 625 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the Tucson Unified District and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2. In contrast, the other elementary school, C.E. Rose Elementary, as well as the high schools, Toltecali High School and PPEP TEC - Celestino Fernandez Learning Center, tend to perform below the state and district averages in academic metrics.
The high schools, Toltecali and PPEP TEC, have similar graduation rates (78.4%) and dropout rates (5.2%) for the 2023-2024 school year, but their academic performance lags behind the state and district. The data suggests that factors such as student-teacher ratios, spending per student, and school type (traditional public vs. public charter) may play a role in the academic performance of the schools in the 85714 zip code area. Addressing the disparities in academic achievement and exploring ways to support all schools in the area could be valuable next steps for the district and community.
