Summary:

ZIP code 85938 has one middle school, Round Valley Middle School, serving grades 5–8, with 269 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14:1. Its all-grades ELA proficiency is 40%, close to Arizona’s 41%, while its 2025–2026 math result is considerably lower than the state’s. The clearest concern for families is math: 20% of students were proficient, 13 percentage points below Arizona and 3 points below the Round Valley Unified District.

Round Valley has its strongest supplied state comparison in 8th-grade science: 40% proficient, compared with 30% statewide and 38% in the district. That result is from 2024–2025; in 2025–2026, 7th-grade ELA is another bright spot, at 50%—7 points above the state and even with the district. Results vary by grade: 6th-grade ELA is 33%, 8 points below the state, while 8th-grade ELA is 39%, matching it. Math is below the state in both reported grades: 6th grade is 24% versus 30%, and 7th grade is 24% versus 27%.

SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars, and its rank percentile was 47 in 2023–2024, rose to 55 in 2024–2025, then returned to 47 in 2025–2026; those figures do not establish a sustained rise or fall in achievement. The school’s ELA results are relatively stronger than its math results: all-grades ELA is just 1 point below the state, while math is 13 points below. The 8th-grade math result is suppressed, and because this ZIP code has only one listed school, families cannot compare local schools with one another.
