South Pima News

Tucson Magnet High School had the highest enrollment among Pima County schools, welcoming 3,167 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.1% of them were girls, and 48.9% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic or Latino, representing 69.8% of the Tucson Magnet High School total enrollment.

Among the 282 schools in Pima County, Marana High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,388 students, while Sunnyside High School welcomed 2,205 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Tucson Magnet High School is part of Tucson Unified District, which roughly covers schools within Pima County and has a main office in Tucson.

In the previous school year, Tucson Magnet High School also had the highest number of students among Pima County schools.

In 2022, Arizona had roughly one teacher for every 19 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for 16 students. A higher student-to-teacher ratio has been found to negatively impact students' school performance.

WalletHub claimed Arizona's school system ranked among the worst across U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors' credentials.
