Summary

Arcadia High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,679 students in Phoenix, Arizona, within the Scottsdale Unified District. Its academic results are stronger than Arizona’s in English and math, though they trail district averages. The clearest standout is graduation: 96% of Arcadia students graduated in 2024–25, above the state’s 80% and the district’s 94%, and higher than every nearby school with a reported rate.

English and math are strengths against the state and most nearby schools, but not against Arcadia’s district. In 2025–26, 51% of students were proficient in English language arts and 43% in math—10 percentage points above the state in each subject, but 10 and 13 points below the district. Arcadia ranked second among nearby schools with reported scores in both subjects, behind Great Hearts Academies - Veritas Prep. Science is the weaker area: in 2024–25, 20% of 11th graders were proficient, just 1 point above the state, 2 points below the district, and 3 points below the nearby-school average.

Graduation has remained high, rising from 94% in 2020–21 to 96% in 2024–25, while science proficiency fell from 28% in 2023–24 to 20% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger ranks Arcadia 77th of 256 Arizona schools, in the 70th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile moved from 74 to 67, then back to 70 over the past three school years. Arcadia is also large, with the second-highest enrollment among nearby schools with data, and its student-teacher ratio of 21.5 is above the nearby average of 18.1. Its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 30% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for special education students was at the 19th percentile in 2022–23, compared with Arcadia’s overall 76th percentile; its ranking for African American students was at the 32nd percentile.
