Summary

In Snowflake, Arizona, Snowflake High School serves 949 students in grades 9–12 and is part of Snowflake Unified District. Its clearest academic strength is 11th-grade science: in 2024–25, 44% of students were proficient, compared with 19% statewide—a 25-point advantage.

Current ELA and math results are above Arizona’s averages but a little below the district’s across all grades. ELA proficiency is 49% at the school, versus 41% statewide and 52% districtwide; math is 48%, versus 33% statewide and 52% districtwide. In 11th grade, the school matches the district in both subjects and exceeds the state by 11 points in ELA and 17 points in math. The school is also much larger than the nearby schools listed: its 949 students are about 16 times the enrollment of the largest, which has 59. Its student–teacher ratio is 24.1, compared with 11.8 at Northern AZ Academy for Career Dev. – Taylor; nearby schools’ individual test results are unavailable, and their differing sizes and programs make these comparisons context rather than a direct performance ranking.

Science has held up well over time: the school’s proficiency was 41% in each of the first two reported years before rising to 44%, while the state’s result fell from 22% to 19%; the school’s lead widened from 19 to 25 points. SchoolDigger places the school at the 71st statewide percentile with four stars in 2025–26, down from the 92nd percentile and five stars in 2020–21. Its statewide ranking for how well it serves Native American students is a notable concern: that group was at the 32nd percentile in 2022–23, versus 83rd overall, down from the 59th percentile in 2020–21. For Hispanic students, the 2022–23 ranking was also lower than the overall result: the 64th percentile versus the 83rd, though that is only one reported year. Graduation remains above the state rate—88% versus 80% in 2024–25—but the advantage has narrowed to 8 points from 15 points in 2020–21. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 30% in 2022–23.
