Summary:

Fountain Hills Unified District has only one middle school, Fountain Hills Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 237 out of 550 Arizona middle schools in 2023-2024 and 358 out of 854 in 2022-2023.

Fountain Hills Middle School's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the state average, while others are below. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate was 40%, which is higher than the state average of 30%. However, the school's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math proficiency rates were all below the state average in the same year. The school's dropout rate of 5.2% in 2023-2024 is also worth noting, as it is higher than the state average.

The Fountain Hills Unified District is ranked 159 out of 289 districts in Arizona and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district as a whole may be underperforming compared to other districts in the state. This could have implications for the resources and support available to Fountain Hills Middle School.
