Summary

Show Low Junior High School is a public middle school in Show Low, Arizona, serving 527 students in grades 6–8. Its clearest academic challenge is mathematics: in 2025–26, 28% of students were proficient, 5 percentage points below both the state and Show Low Unified District. The gap is especially sharp in grade 6, where 25% were proficient—26 points below Snowflake Intermediate School.

Science is the school’s strongest area compared with state and district results, while math is its weakest. In grade 8 science, 35% were proficient in 2024–25, compared with 30% statewide and 34% districtwide; nearby results varied, from 29% at Blue Ridge Junior High School to 53% at Snowflake Junior High School. ELA results are mixed by grade: eighth-grade proficiency was 45%, above the state’s 39% and the nearby grade 8 average of 38%, while the school’s all-grade math result was below the nearby schools’ average of 40%. Grade 7 math is a relative bright spot: 29% were proficient, above the state’s 27% and the nearby grade 7 average of 25%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so grade-matched comparisons are most useful.

Grade 8 science proficiency has risen steadily, from 30% in 2022–23 to 34% in 2023–24 and 35% in 2024–25; the state rose from 27% to 30% over those years. For context, SchoolDigger places the school at the 49th percentile statewide with 2 stars in 2025–26; the district is at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 18.1, lower than at both Snowflake schools but higher than Blue Ridge’s 12.8. SchoolDigger’s group-specific rankings show a notably lower statewide standing for White students: the 14th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 49th percentile. The African American student ranking shifted from the 13th percentile in 2020–21 to the 80th in 2022–23, a large change across nonconsecutive years.
