Summary

Mountain Pointe High School is a public high school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 1,639 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Tempe Union High School District, which is ranked 134 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Mountain Pointe High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 84th out of 406 Arizona high schools in 2015-2016 to 191st out of 509 in 2020-2021. In the most recent year, the school ranked 132nd out of 271 high schools with a 3-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in 11th-grade science, English Language Arts, and Mathematics, has consistently been lower than the district and state averages. Comparisons to nearby high-performing schools, such as Corona Del Sol High School and Desert Vista High School, suggest that Mountain Pointe may benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.

The school's graduation rate has fluctuated between 77.5% and 88.5% over the past few years, while the dropout rate has ranged from 2.3% to 6.1%. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 18.63% in 2021-2022 to 30.94% in 2022-2023. This trend may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. Overall, Mountain Pointe High School faces challenges in improving its academic performance and supporting its diverse student population.
