Summary:

Heber, Arizona, has three schools in the Heber-Overgaard Unified District, serving grades 4–12 across elementary, junior high, and high school. The clearest shared strength is English Language Arts (ELA): among the two schools with all-grades results, the average is 52%, 11 points above the 41% state rate, while their average math result is 30%, 3 points below the 33% state rate.

Mogollon Junior High School leads the reported all-grades ELA results at 54%, compared with 50% at Capps Elementary School; those results are 13 and 9 points above the state rate, respectively. Math is less consistent: Capps matches the state at 33%, while Junior High is at 27%, 6 points below. Capps has a particular strength in fourth- and fifth-grade ELA, with each grade 15 points above its state rate, and fourth-grade math is 6 points above state. Junior High ELA is 11 points above state in grade 7 and 15 points above in grade 8; its eighth-grade science is 14 points above state, while Capps fifth-grade science is 4 points above. Capps grade 6 ELA is 6 points below state. Current school-level test results for Mogollon High School are suppressed, and grade-specific comparisons are most useful within the same grade.
