Summary:

Schools in zip code 85749 include seven schools—four elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools—serving students from pre-K through grade 12. Across the schools, equal-school averages are 60% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 53% in math, compared with state results of 41% and 33%. Six schools are above the state in school-wide ELA, and all seven are above it in math, but results vary widely: the strongest-to-weakest spread is 33 percentage points in ELA and 38 points in math. The central takeaway is that strong area averages do not describe every school equally well, with Collier Elementary School the clearest exception in ELA.

The school-wide leaders differ by subject: Hermosa Montessori Charter leads ELA at 72%, 4 points above the next results, while Tanque Verde Elementary School leads math at 72%, 9 points above the next results. Tanque Verde High School leads the two high schools in grade 11, with 68% proficient in ELA and 63% in math. At the bottom, Collier reports 39% in ELA—2 points below the state—and 34% in math, just 1 point above it. Grade-level results can also help distinguish schools: in grade 6, Tanque Verde Elementary is ahead of Agua Caliente School by 19 points in ELA and 21 in math.

SchoolDigger rankings improved for four of the six schools with results in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, while two fell; Tanque Verde Elementary rose from the 88th to the 93rd percentile and has a five-star rating, while Hermosa moved from the 92nd to the 84th percentile. These rankings are not test scores. School size and student–teacher ratios vary too: enrollment ranges from 132 at Collier to 816 at Sabino High School, whose ratio of 20.1 is the group’s highest; Sabino is nevertheless above the state in both school-wide subjects. Free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable, so income comparisons are not supported.
