Summary

Willcox High School in Willcox, Arizona, serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 408 students in an area with no other schools within 20 miles. In 2025–26, proficiency was 31% in English language arts (ELA) and 19% in math; both were below state results of 41% and 33%. ELA was closer to the district result, while math was the clearest academic concern: it was 14 percentage points below the state and only 3 points above the district.

Science is the school’s strongest reported subject against the state, while ELA and math results were lower. In 11th-grade science, Willcox scored 28% in 2023–24, 6 points above the state’s 22%; the Willcox Unified District also scored 28%. The school’s latest reported graduation rate was 88% in 2022–23, compared with 78% statewide. The latest dropout figures point the other way: in 2024–25, the rate was 6% at Willcox and 5% statewide, about 1 percentage point higher at the school. There are no nearby schools with comparable figures, so local school-to-school comparisons are not available.

Results and statewide standing have shifted over time. Willcox’s 11th-grade science proficiency rose from 25% in 2022–23 to 28% in 2023–24, while the state stayed at 22%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 33rd statewide percentile in 2025–26, ranked it 171st of 256 schools, and gave it 2 stars; its percentile had been 12 in 2024–25 and 53 in 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s rankings also show notably strong results for English Language Learner students: the group was at the 91st percentile in 2020–21 (rank 29 of 312) and the 79th percentile in 2021–22 (rank 53 of 258), compared with overall school percentiles of 59 and 37. These rankings describe how well the school served that group in those years. The student-teacher ratio was 17.4 in 2024–25, up from 16 in 2022–23, and the reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 41% in 2022–23.
