Summary:
The area has one school: Tri-City College Prep, which serves grades 5–12 and has 278 students. Its reported student–teacher ratio is 13.3. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 70% in ELA versus 41% statewide and 72% in math versus 33% statewide. Most importantly, every reported, unsuppressed result at the school is above the corresponding state rate.
Tri-City College Prep stands out most in eighth-grade math: 85% of students were proficient, compared with 30% statewide, a 55-point advantage. That is the largest gap in the data; the smallest is 29 points, in all-grades and eighth-grade ELA. The math advantage is stronger overall than the ELA advantage: the all-grades gaps are 39 points in math and 29 points in ELA. By grade 11, however, the gaps are nearly even—39 points in math and 38 in ELA. In science, the school is also ahead of the state by 33 points in grade 8 and 31 points in grade 11. The list has no second school to compare as a local top or bottom performer.
SchoolDigger’s ranking has improved over the reported years, and it gives the school 5 stars: the ranking moved from 21st of 270 Arizona schools, in the 92nd percentile, in 2023–24 to 16th of 271, in the 94th percentile, in 2024–25, and 14th of 256, in the 95th percentile, in 2025–26. Because SchoolDigger rankings are relative and the number of schools ranked changes, this trend does not show that the school’s test scores rose. The especially large eighth-grade math advantage contrasts with the more similar grade 11 math and ELA gaps, while the 13.3 student–teacher ratio provides additional context about the school.
