Summary

Queen Creek High School serves 1,968 students in grades 9–12 in Queen Creek, Arizona, and is part of the Queen Creek Unified District. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 94%, compared with 80% statewide, and was essentially in line with the district’s 95%. The clearest academic strength is current ELA and math proficiency: Queen Creek scored 59% and 58%, respectively, above Arizona’s 41% and 33%.

Among nearby schools with reported all-grades results, Queen Creek leads Crismon High School by 11 points in ELA and 17 points in math; the district gaps are 4 points in each subject. Science is the main concern: 11th-grade proficiency was 14% in 2024–25, below Arizona’s 19%, though above the district’s 12% and Crismon’s 13%. Queen Creek’s science result fell 10 points over three years, from 24% to 14%. Ridgeview College Preparatory High School and Combs Center for Success High School have suppressed test-score results, so their scores cannot be ranked against Queen Creek’s.
