Best High Schools in Zip Code 85741

The 85741 list includes nine high schools serving grades 9–12: five Rose Academy campuses, Sentinel Peak High School, and three Pima County JTED sites. Their enrollments range from 8 to 442 students, so the group includes very small specialty sites as well as larger schools. School-level AASA results are suppressed for all nine schools. The clearest outcome signal is that graduation and dropout rates at the schools with reported figures are substantially worse than state rates: average graduation was 36%, 44 percentage points below the state’s 80%, while average dropout was 21%, 16 points above the state’s 5%.

Mountain Rose Academy stands out for graduation: its 50% rate was 17 points above Canyon Rose Academy and 20 points above Desert Rose Academy Charter School, the lowest of the four schools with comparable figures at 30%. Canyon Rose Academy-East had the lowest reported dropout rate, 17%; Desert Rose’s was 23%. Sentinel Peak is a mixed picture: its 2023–24 graduation rate was 76%, but its 2022–23 SchoolDigger percentile was 8, the lowest among the five schools with rankings that year.

SchoolDigger’s rankings also show a group-wide decline: the average percentile for the same five schools fell from 32 in 2021–22 to 19 in 2022–23, a 13-point drop. Canyon Rose-East had the sharpest recent slide, from the 58th percentile to the 26th, although it still ranked highest in that five-school group in 2022–23. Listed student–teacher ratios add context but do not neatly track outcomes: Mountain Rose’s ratio was 14.3, compared with 17.0 at Canyon Rose and 25.8 at Desert Rose, while Sentinel Peak’s was 52. The JTED sites are especially small, with enrollments of 8–25, so comparisons across all nine schools may not be like-for-like.
