Summary

Williams Elementary/Middle School is a public school serving 412 students in grades PK-8 in the town of Williams, Arizona. The school is part of the Williams Unified District, which is ranked 190 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, its academic performance has been a concern. Williams Elementary/Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across various grade levels and subjects, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 27% compared to the state average of 34%. The school's performance is also generally lower than the Williams Unified District average, indicating room for improvement. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 3.6% to 6.1%, which are higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Native American and African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 40% and top 20% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively, in certain years, White and multi-racial students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools in some years. In contrast, English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status perform better than the school's overall average. Nearby schools, such as Ash Fork Elementary School and Maine Consolidated School, generally outperform Williams Elementary/Middle School in academic proficiency, with higher rankings and test scores.
