Summary:

ZIP code 85936 has five schools: one elementary, one middle and three high schools, including Coronado Elementary School, St Johns Middle School, St Johns High School, St. Johns Learning Center and NAVIT - Northland Pioneer College STJ. Reported results cover 3rd grade at Coronado, grades 4–8 at St Johns Middle and 11th grade at St Johns High. Across the seven grade-specific comparisons with state results, schools average 13 points above the state in ELA and 23 points above in math, making math the clearest overall strength.

The strongest results are concentrated in particular grades, rather than one school leading in everything. At St Johns Middle, 8th graders reached 65% proficiency in math, 35 points above the state, and 66% in ELA, 27 points above; however, 4th-grade ELA was 44%, 3 points below the state. Coronado stands out in 3rd-grade math at 59%, 21 points above the state, and 3 points above the next-highest listed all-grades math rate. St Johns High has the highest listed all-grades ELA rate at 56%, 4 points above the other reporting schools at 52%; its all-grades math rate, 49%, is the lowest listed, though 16 points above the state’s all-grades rate. In 11th grade, the high school is 18 points above state results in both ELA and math.

SchoolDigger’s recent percentile rankings rose at both St Johns Middle, from the 78th percentile in 2023–24 to the 84th in 2025–26, and St Johns High, from the 69th to the 78th, after a dip to the 58th percentile in between. The St Johns Unified District has a four-star SchoolDigger rating, ranks 69th of 267 Arizona districts and is at the 74th percentile; this is a district rating, not a rating for each school. Among schools with test results, student–teacher ratios range from 14.2 at St Johns High to 17 at Coronado, so the figures do not point to a simple link between ratio and results. The Learning Center and NAVIT have no test scores listed, and differing grade spans make all-grades school rates imperfect comparisons.
