Summary

Rincon High School is a public high school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 1,217 students in grades 8-12. The school is part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 208 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Rincon High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, with a current ranking of 207 out of 271 schools and a 1-star rating.

Rincon High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 14% in the district and 19% statewide. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 16% of 11th-graders were proficient or better, compared to 23% in the district and 30% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has also been consistently lower than the state and district averages, ranging from 77.5% to 85.3% in recent years, and its dropout rate has been higher, ranging from 2.5% to 6.6%.

While Rincon High School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as University High School, which is ranked among the top 12 high schools in Arizona, it performs better than some nearby charter schools, such as Edge High School - Himmel Park. The school's relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratio may be contributing to its overall academic underperformance, and the significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs. However, Rincon High School has shown some signs of improvement in recent years, with its ranking and star rating increasing from 1 to 2 stars between the 2014-2015 and 2022-2023 school years, indicating that there may be opportunities for the school to continue improving with the right strategies and support.
