The data highlights a few standout schools in the area. The Kingman Academy of Learning - High School and Kingman Academy of Learning - Middle School consistently rank among the top schools in the state, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Manzanita Elementary and Hualapai Elementary stand out with some of the highest proficiency rates in the district.

However, the Kingman Unified School District as a whole is underperforming, ranking 230 out of 289 districts in the state and receiving only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This is reflected in the generally lower test scores across the district compared to state averages. The wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 12 to 30 students per teacher, may be a contributing factor to the performance differences between schools, with lower ratios potentially allowing for more individualized attention.
