Summary:
Morenci High School is the only high school listed in the Morenci Unified District area, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 361 students. Its latest reported ELA and math results are from 2025–26, while its 11th-grade science result is from 2024–25. The biggest concern in the latest results is math: proficiency was 18% across all grades, 15 percentage points below Arizona’s 33% rate.
There is no local school-to-school leader or trailer because the list contains just one school; comparisons with the state show where its results stand. ELA proficiency was also below the state rate, at 28% versus 41% across all grades, a 13-point gap. In 11th grade, ELA was 28% versus 38% statewide, while math was 18% versus 31%. Science is the exception: 11th-grade proficiency was 22%, 3 points above the state’s 19% rate and equal to the district rate. SchoolDigger places the school 181st of 256 schools, in the 29th percentile, with a 2-star rating for 2025–26; these are relative rankings, not proficiency rates.
SchoolDigger’s ranking history shows a weaker relative position in the latest year, though it does not show how much test scores changed: the school moved from the 34th percentile in 2023–24 to the 40th in 2024–25, then to the 29th in 2025–26. The reported student–teacher ratio was 6.8 in 2024–25. The school’s historical graduation rate was 96% in 2021–22, and its dropout rate was 4% in 2022–23. Those figures are from different years than the supplied state rates, so they do not establish current school-versus-state gaps.
