Mica Mountain High is a public high school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 1,306 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Vail Unified District, which is ranked 61 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Mica Mountain High consistently performs above the state average in academic proficiency, with 62% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, 53% in Mathematics, and 28% in Science. The school's performance is also higher than the Vail Unified District average, indicating it is a strong academic performer within its district.

However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 18.3 is slightly higher than the state average, suggesting a potential area for resource allocation.

Compared to nearby schools, Mica Mountain High performs significantly better than Pantano High School but not as strongly as Empire High School, which consistently ranks higher in academic achievement. Mica Mountain High has shown consistent strength in supporting its African American and Hispanic student populations, but its performance with Asian and English Language Learner students is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
