San Fernando Elementary District (4414)

Nestled in the remote rural community of Sasabe, Arizona, the San Fernando Elementary District operates as a traditional, non-charter public school district anchored by a single primary educational facility located at 1 Schoolhouse Drive. Positioned in southern Pima County within the broader Tucson metropolitan area, this active district provides essential educational services for local children across grades kindergarten through eighth. Serving as a crucial educational touchpoint for its surrounding borderland community, the district offers an intimate academic environment structured to support young learners through their foundational elementary and middle school years.

Demonstrating the unique dynamics of micro-schooling in rural public education, the district maintains a remarkably small enrollment of nine students spanning first through sixth grade. The student body reflects the region's rich diversity, comprised predominantly of Hispanic students along with White representation. To support daily operations and individualized care, the district maintains a total staffing context of nearly eight full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel, relying heavily on a dedicated team of 1.5 instructional aides and nearly six and a half operational support staff members. For families seeking an unparalleled level of individualized attention and researchers studying rural educational delivery, the San Fernando Elementary District offers a compelling example of small-scale, community-centered public schooling.
