Patagonia Elementary District (4460)

Nestled at 100 School St in Patagonia, Arizona, the Patagonia Elementary District serves as a vital educational hub for its surrounding community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district within a rural distant setting of the Nogales metropolitan area, the district encompasses a single primary campus designed to foster early childhood and middle-grades development. Serving learners from prekindergarten through eighth grade, the district offers a continuous academic pathway focused on establishing strong foundational literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills before students transition to high school.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district maintained an intimate learning environment with a total enrollment of 124 students spread across its ten grade levels. The student population reflects the rich cultural makeup of southern Arizona, featuring a vibrant community comprised predominantly of Hispanic and White students. A key strength of the district is its robust staffing context relative to its small student body; with nearly 21 full-time equivalent teachers alongside instructional aides and support staff—bringing total personnel to roughly 30 full-time equivalents—the district achieves an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio. This generous staffing allocation enables educators to deliver tailored, small-group instruction and personalized academic support in a close-knit school setting.
