Summary

Flowing Wells High School is a public high school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 1,708 students in grades 9-12. While the school has consistently ranked in the middle range of Arizona high schools, it faces some challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and supporting certain student subgroups.

Flowing Wells High School's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with around 30-40% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and only 20-24% proficient in Science. However, the school performs slightly better than the Flowing Wells Unified District and the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from around 92% in 2023-2024 to 77.5% in 2022-2023, while the dropout rate has increased from 3.2% to 6.1% during the same period.

Despite these challenges, Flowing Wells High School has demonstrated strengths in supporting vulnerable student populations. The school ranks among the top in Arizona for its support of homeless and foster care students. Additionally, the nearby Amphitheater High School, which is in a higher-ranked district, has lower academic performance compared to Flowing Wells High School. This highlights the need to understand the unique challenges and strengths of each school within the local context.
