Summary:
ZIP code 85718 has six schools spanning elementary, middle and high school grades: four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. In 2025–26, their average proficiency was 66% in English language arts (ELA) and 54% in math, compared with Arizona’s 41% and 33%. But results varied widely, from 36% to 79% in ELA and 23% to 70% in math. The most important takeaway is that strong area averages do not mean every school has similarly strong results: Adventure School was below the state in both subjects while the other five schools were above it.
Sunrise Drive Elementary School led in all-grade ELA, with 79% proficient—15 points above the other schools’ average and 38 points above Arizona. Manzanita School led in math at 70%, 20 points above the other schools’ average and 37 points above the state. Adventure had the lowest all-grade results: 36% in ELA and 23% in math, respectively 5 and 10 points below Arizona. The subject-specific picture matters, too: Catalina Foothills High School scored 70% in ELA and 63% in math, while Orange Grove Middle School scored 72% and 61%.
SchoolDigger rankings show mixed movement rather than a uniform trend: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Manzanita rose 7 percentile points and Orange Grove 4, while Khalsa School fell 7 and Sunrise fell 3; Catalina Foothills High rose 1. Current listed rankings place Sunrise, Manzanita and Orange Grove in the 93rd–94th statewide percentiles, Catalina Foothills High in the 91st and Khalsa in the 79th; Adventure’s latest supplied ranking is older, at the 48th percentile. Grade-level results can help families distinguish schools: Sunrise led Manzanita in grade 3 and 5 ELA, while Manzanita led in grade 4 ELA and grades 3 and 4 math. Khalsa’s student–teacher ratio is 14.8, compared with 17.2 at Manzanita and 20.1 at Catalina Foothills High and Adventure; free/reduced-lunch rates are not supplied. Rankings are not proficiency-score trends, and all-grade comparisons span different grades.
