Summary:
The 85756 zip code area in Tucson, Arizona is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, all part of the Sunnyside Unified District. While the district as a whole is ranked 267 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools in the area stand out.
Math and Science Success Academy, a public charter school serving grades K-8, has the highest overall performance on test scores compared to the other schools in the area. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. However, it also has a relatively high 5.2% dropout rate. In contrast, Elvira Elementary School, a public elementary school, has stronger test scores than the other Sunnyside Unified District schools, particularly in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the area.
The other schools in the data set, including Craycroft Elementary, Challenger Middle, Billy Lane Lauffer Middle, Santa Clara Elementary, and Summit View Elementary, all have relatively low test scores and rankings compared to the state and district averages. The performance gap between Math and Science Success Academy and the other Sunnyside Unified District schools is significant, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this area.
