In the 2022-23 school year, 33% of Nogales Unified District students passed their AASA/ACT Language Arts test, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

The 2,866 students who took the AASA/ACT were assessed at four proficiency levels in each subject. Those at proficiency level one and two failed the test, while students who reached the third and fourth proficiency level passed the test.

Of those who passed, most achieved proficiency level three.

Nogales Unified District roughly covers schools within Santa Cruz County and has a main office in Nogales.

Math scores fell the most from 2019 to 2022, while language arts scores decreased to a lesser extent from 2019 to 2022, according to the Nation's Report Card.

A 2023 study from Scholaroo.com ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor markets for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.
