Tucson Standard

Tucson Magnet High School had the highest enrollment among Pima County schools, welcoming 2,962 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 51.4% of them were girls, and 48.6% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic or Latino, accounting for 71.9% of the Tucson Magnet High School's total enrollment.

Among the 280 schools in Pima County, Marana High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,433 students, while Sunnyside High School welcomed 2,220 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 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.

According to a recent study by ConsumerAffairs, Arizona ranked last in overall education quality in 2024, placing 51st among U.S. states and Washington, D.C. The state ranked 40th in K-12 performance, 43rd in higher education quality, and 45th in school safety.

However, its most striking issue was school funding, where it ranked 50th. Arizona spent only $11,234 per student in the 2023-24 school year, significantly below the national average of $16,722. This funding gap limits resources, teacher salaries, and infrastructure, contributing to the state’s overall low ranking.
