High Schools in Thatcher Unified District

There are two high schools in Thatcher Unified District: Thatcher High School, serving grades 9–12 with 512 students, and Eagle Online Academy, serving grades 7–12 with 49 students. The strongest available academic signal is that Thatcher’s reported proficiency rates are above the state rates in all five comparable subject and grade groupings.

Thatcher High School stands out against state benchmarks, though the available results cannot identify which school performs best overall: Eagle’s proficiency figures are suppressed. Thatcher’s largest lead is in grade 11 science, with 26% proficient compared with 19% statewide, a 7-point difference; its smallest is all-grades ELA, at 42% versus 41%, a 1-point lead. It is also above the state in all-grades math, 35% to 33%, and grade 11 ELA and math, by 4 points in each. Its all-grades ELA result is 2 points below the district’s 44%, however. Thatcher’s combined all-grades ELA and math average is 39%, compared with 37% statewide, while its grade 11 average is 4 points above the state average.

Thatcher High School’s SchoolDigger standing has declined over the three supplied years: its percentile fell from 74th in 2023–24 to 61st in 2024–25 and 57th in 2025–26; its current rating is 3 stars, ranked 110th of 256 Arizona schools. This weaker relative ranking does not show that its proficiency scores fell, since comparable scores over time are not provided. Thatcher’s student–teacher ratio is 16.7; Eagle’s is not reported. Graduation figures also differ by year: in 2021–22, Thatcher reported 90% and Eagle 83%, while the district’s 2024–25 rate was 96%, compared with 80% statewide. That later district rate is not a rate for either school.
