Original Research by School Decision on Mary Meredith High School
Mary Meredith High School in Tucson is listed as a regular public school that served students in a multi-grade span, according to the most recent available data. The school is now inactive, meaning it is no longer operating. Because it carries an inactive status, the record for this school contains almost no current or historical information across every category typically used to evaluate a school.
There are no state assessment results, no graduation rate, no enrollment figures, no demographic breakdown, and no data on staffing, discipline, or course access. The school’s Title I status, magnet or charter designation, and free-or-reduced-price lunch data are all missing from the record. A parent or resident looking for test scores, class sizes, or student outcomes will find nothing here to assess.
Mary Meredith High School sits within the Tucson Unified District, a large urban district that in a recent school year enrolled a student population that was majority Hispanic, with significant White and African American shares. The district is one of the biggest in Pima County, operating schools across the city. Tucson itself is a major desert city, second-largest in Arizona, with a historic downtown core adjacent to the University of Arizona campus. The city is home to the University of Arizona, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and a technology and optics industry cluster, and it draws on tourism and a deep regional food culture.
The school’s location in Tucson places it in a city with a sprawling suburban footprint and an automobile-dependent layout outside the central core, though the downtown and university area are connected by a streetcar line and offer a more walkable environment. The district has seen a sustained enrollment decline over time, a trend the district has publicly discussed in the context of school utilization and potential facility closures. The district also operates under a federal desegregation order, the Unitary Status Plan, which shapes magnet school placement, student assignment, and transportation.
For Mary Meredith High School specifically, there is nothing more to report. The school is inactive, and the data record is essentially empty. Anyone seeking information about this school would need to look beyond standard public data sources or contact the district directly for historical context.
