Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 85745

Five elementary schools in ZIP code 85745, all part of Tucson Unified District, serve students from prekindergarten through fifth or eighth grade. The area’s broadest concern is that every school’s all-grades proficiency rate is below Arizona’s rate in both subjects: the schools average 23% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, and 19% in math, compared with 33% statewide.

Robins Elementary School and Tolson Elementary School lead the all-grades results. Robins has the highest ELA rate at 34%, just ahead of Tolson at 33%; Tolson leads in math at 30%, with Robins next at 24%. At the other end, Morgan Maxwell School has the lowest rates, at 12% in ELA and 8% in math. The top-to-bottom gap is 22 percentage points in each subject. Tolson’s math rate is 3 points below the state rate, while Morgan Maxwell is 29 points below in ELA and 25 points below in math. Grade-level results add useful detail: Robins leads reported third-grade math at 40%, above the state’s 38%, and fourth-grade ELA at 41%; the latter remains below the state’s 47%.

SchoolDigger’s listed percentile rankings have declined from their earliest to latest available figures for all five schools: Robins went from 41st to 37th, Tolson from 40th to 29th, Manzo Elementary School from 42nd to 24th, Morgan Maxwell from 13th to 3rd, and Tully Elementary Accelerated Magnet School from 15th to 5th. Robins and Tolson both rose in 2024–25 before falling in 2025–26; these rankings describe relative standing, not changes in proficiency scores. Ratios also do not sort schools by results: Tolson’s ratio is 17.0, higher than Manzo’s 15.2 and Tully’s 12.6, despite its stronger results, and Robins outperforms Morgan Maxwell despite a higher ratio. No free/reduced-lunch rates are provided, and schools’ different grade spans make all-grades comparisons less directly comparable.
