Summary:
Snowflake, Arizona, has five public schools serving grades K–12, from two K–3 schools through high school, all part of Snowflake Unified District. SchoolDigger ranks the district 77th of 267 statewide, at the 71st percentile, and gives it four stars. Across the schools, the equal-weight average is 48% proficient in both English language arts (ELA) and math; those averages are 7 and 15 percentage points above the state rates, respectively. All five schools are above the state in math, while four are above it in ELA. The clearest overall strength in Snowflake’s results is math relative to the state.
Snowflake Intermediate School leads the all-grades results, with 54% proficient in ELA and 57% in math—13 and 24 points above state rates. At the other end, Taylor Elementary School has the lowest all-grades results: 37% in ELA, 4 points below the state, and 36% in math, 3 points above it. The two K–3 schools also differ notably in third grade: Highland Primary School scores 48% in ELA and 56% in math, compared with Taylor’s 37% and 36%—gaps of 11 and 20 points. Science results are also above each school’s grade-specific state benchmark: Intermediate is 22 points above in fifth grade, Snowflake Junior High School is 23 points above in eighth grade, and Snowflake High School is 25 points above in 11th grade.
The available SchoolDigger ranking histories show a recent dip for High and a return to its starting percentile for Junior High, not steady gains: High went from the 76th percentile in 2023–24 to the 80th in 2024–25 and 71st in 2025–26; Junior High went from 74th to 81st and back to 74th. Ratios do not line up simply with proficiency: Intermediate has the highest reported student–teacher ratio, 24.3, yet leads all-grades results, while Taylor has the lowest ratio, 18.5, but the lowest results. High’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 88%, compared with 80% statewide, and its dropout rate was 3%, compared with 5% statewide. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank, and ranking histories are available only for High and Junior High.
