How Arizona's high schools compare

A: 68B: 72C: 77D: 66F: 21

46% of the 304 ranked high schools in Arizona earn an A or B (68 A grades, 72 B, 77 C, 66 D, 21 F), against 50% of high schools nationwide. 223 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (73% here, 74% nationally), and 109 exceed it. On average 34% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 32% (national averages: 44% actual, 41% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Basis Tucson Primary (75% against 28%, A+), Telesis Preparatory Academy (87% against 44%, A+), Ash Fork High School (65% against 23%, A+), Joseph City High School (55% against 19%, A), Jefferson Preparatory High School (70% against 38%, A+).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 76): Vail Unified District (4413) (5), Chandler Unified District #80 (4242) (4), Deer Valley Unified District (4246) (3), Paradise Valley Unified District (4241) (3).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Phoenix (58, 24 at A or B), Tucson (34, 16 at A or B), Mesa (15, 8 at A or B), Gilbert (14, 11 at A or B), Glendale (14, 7 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Hamilton High School (3,850 students, A, #36), Chandler High School (3,597 students, B-, #130), Westwood High School (3,570 students, D, #251).

Of the top 25, 0 are magnet schools and 15 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

295 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 (19)

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.
