Summary:

The city of Wickenburg, Arizona is home to two high schools: Wickenburg High School and West-MEC - Wickenburg High School. Wickenburg High School is the larger and more established of the two, serving 457 students, while West-MEC - Wickenburg High School has just 10 students.

Wickenburg High School has a statewide ranking of 175 out of 271 Arizona high schools in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating out of 5. Its four-year graduation rate was 78.4% in 2023-2024, with a 5.2% dropout rate. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all below the state average. In contrast, West-MEC - Wickenburg High School lacks data on its statewide ranking, free/reduced lunch rates, and student-teacher ratio, making it difficult to fully evaluate the school's performance.

The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Wickenburg High School spending $6,736 per student and West-MEC - Wickenburg High School spending only $593 per student, suggests a disparity in resource allocation and funding that may contribute to the academic challenges faced by Wickenburg High School.
