Grand Canyon High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Grand Canyon High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the remote town of Grand Canyon, Arizona, with a diverse student population of 84 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small size, Grand Canyon High School has maintained a strong academic standing, ranking 99 out of 469 Arizona high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 58% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40% statewide, but only 26% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 32% statewide. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 48% for 11th-grade students was significantly higher than the state average of 22%. The school has also consistently outperformed the state average in graduation rates, ranging from 92.3% to 100% over the past five years, and has maintained low dropout rates.

One of the school's strengths is its ability to effectively serve its diverse student population, particularly Hispanic, Native American, and low-socioeconomic status students, who perform in the top quartile of Arizona high schools. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.5 to 9.9 over the past three years, suggests a more personalized learning environment, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the fluctuations in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 5.95% in 2021-2022 to 50% in 2022-2023, indicate changes in the school's socioeconomic composition that may impact its resource needs and support services.
