Summary

Mountain Pointe High School serves 1,570 students in grades 9–12 in Phoenix and is part of Tempe Union High School District. Its clearest academic concern is English Language Arts (ELA): in 2025–26, proficiency was 32%, compared with 41% statewide and 51% in the district. That puts the school 9 percentage points below the state and 19 below the district, making ELA its most important academic weakness.

Science is Mountain Pointe’s strongest subject compared with the state, though it remains behind the district and nearby schools. In 11th-grade science, 23% were proficient in 2024–25, 4 points above the state but 8 below the district. Math proficiency was 32%, close to the state’s 33% but 14 points below the district. Nearby-school comparisons show further gaps: schools with scores averaged 60% in ELA, 28 points above Mountain Pointe; their math average was 49%, 17 points higher. Nearby 11th-grade science scores averaged 34%, 11 points higher. Mountain Pointe’s ELA result was below every nearby school with available scores.

Mountain Pointe’s 11th-grade science proficiency fell from 28% in 2022–23 to 23% in 2024–25, while its lead over the state narrowed from 6 points to 4. SchoolDigger ranks it 136th of 256 statewide, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars; among nearby schools with current rankings, it is tied at the lowest percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is 20.1, above the nearby average of 18.9. More positive outcomes include an 87% graduation rate—7 points above the state—and a 2% dropout rate, 3 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show different statewide standing: African American students ranked at the 21st percentile in 2025–26, 26 points below the school overall, while Multi-racial Students ranked at the 12th percentile in 2024–25 versus 51 overall.
