Academics

Pima Elementary is where academic excellence, strong relationships, and fun-filled learning experiences come together. Join us in nurturing the future of our scholars.

Experience the Difference: Pima Elementary isn't just a school; it's a family. When you step into our halls, you'll feel the warmth of a community that values relationships, positivity, and fun in learning. Every family that comes to campus witnesses the heartwarming interactions between scholars, teachers, and Principal Hodo, who even shares his love of music with the scholars.

At Pima, we're more than just a collection of scholars and teachers; we're a united family. No matter your grade, teacher, or background, everyone belongs here. Our focus on building relationships fosters a sense of belonging and connection.

Learning is an adventure at Pima, where we make education fun and engaging. Our programs like PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) and BARR (Building Assets Reducing Risks) emphasize positivity and strengths. We're dedicated to helping each child reach their highest potential academically and personally.
