Summary

White Cliffs Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Kingman Unified School District in Kingman, Arizona, with an enrollment of 582 students.

The school faces significant challenges, consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. While some student subgroups, such as African American and Asian students, perform relatively well, others, like White and multi-racial students, struggle significantly, ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona middle schools. The school has also experienced high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 5.2% to 9.7%, which are higher than the state and district averages. Despite these academic struggles, the district spends a relatively high amount per student, with spending ranging from $5,538 to $9,727 per student in recent years.

When compared to other middle schools in the Kingman Unified School District, Kingman Middle School and Kingman Academy of Learning - Middle School both outperform White Cliffs Middle School in academic achievement and have higher statewide rankings. The school's enrollment has also decreased from 698 students in the 2022-2023 school year to 582 students in the 2024-2025 school year, which may be a concern for the school and district. The school has experienced an increase in its student-teacher ratio, from 20.9 in 2021-2022 to 23.2 in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to the school's academic struggles.
