How Arizona's high schools compare

A: 30B: 51C: 79D: 98F: 51

26% of the 309 ranked high schools in Arizona earn an A or B (30 A grades, 51 B, 79 C, 98 D, 51 F), against 48% of high schools nationwide. 143 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (46% here, 75% nationally), and 70 exceed it. On average 30% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 33% (national averages: 42% actual, 40% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Basis Tucson Primary (74% against 25%, A+), Great Hearts Academies Archway Chandler (81% against 38%, A+), Great Hearts Academies Archway Trivium (72% against 35%, A+), Basis Prescott (78% against 42%, A+), Academy Of Math And Science (51% against 21%, A-).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 78): Chandler Unified District #80 (4242) (5), Vail Unified District (4413) (5), American Leadership Academy Inc. (4348) (4), Gilbert Unified District (4239) (3).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Phoenix (55, 13 at A or B), Tucson (35, 11 at A or B), Gilbert (14, 10 at A or B), Mesa (14, 6 at A or B), Glendale (14, 4 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Hamilton High School (3,850 students, B+, #43), Chandler High School (3,597 students, C-, #134), Westwood High School (3,570 students, D, #187).

Of the top 25, 0 are magnet schools and 18 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

High schools in Arizona that are not ranked

244 graded high schools are listed here rather than ranked, each for the reason given. Every one has its own page with its full SchoolGrade report.

Special-purpose schools (109)

Alternative, special-education and vocational schools serve a different mission and a different student body, so they are graded but not ranked against regular schools.
