McClintock is strong among nearby high schools serving grades 9–12, but it is not the local leader in every comparison. Its ELA and math results are 19 and 15 points above the averages for Tempe High School, Marcos De Niza High School, and New School for the Arts.

Compared with the district, McClintock is 3 points higher in ELA but 3 lower in math. Science is a weaker area: its 26% result is below the district’s 31% and Arizona’s 19%? No—McClintock remains 7 points above the state, but trails the nearby reported average of about 32%. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 89%, 9 points above Arizona’s and close to the district’s 89%.

Science proficiency fell from 33% in 2023–24 to 26% in 2024–25, while McClintock’s advantage over the state narrowed. Its SchoolDigger ranking improved from the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2024–25 to the 71st percentile and 4 stars in 2025–26 (74th of 256 schools).
