White Mountain Institute

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

White Mountain Institute is a small public high school in Show Low, Arizona, serving 42 students in grades 9-12. This school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in science and English language arts, outpacing the local Show Low Unified District and the state of Arizona.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance among specific student subgroups. In the 2020-2021 school year, White Mountain Institute ranked 31st out of 479 Arizona high schools for its Hispanic students, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is effectively supporting and challenging its diverse student population. However, the school may need to focus on strengthening its mathematics instruction and support, as it lags behind Show Low High School in this area.

While White Mountain Institute has a higher percentage of Hispanic and Native American students compared to the state average, it has a lower percentage of African American and Asian students. This could indicate an opportunity to further diversify the student population and ensure equitable access and support for all racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the school has seen significant fluctuations in its per-student spending, which may impact its ability to consistently provide resources and support for its students. Despite these challenges, the school's smaller class size, with 11.1 students per teacher, may contribute to its academic success and ability to provide personalized attention to its students.
