Summary

Willcox High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Willcox, Arizona, with a total enrollment of 406 students. The school is part of the Willcox Unified District, which is ranked 260 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willcox High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 127 out of 270 high schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) and 294 out of 464 high schools in 2021-2022 (2-star rating). The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state average, with only 26% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 12% in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has also varied, ranging from 76.6% in 2021-2022 to 87.5% in 2022-2023.

While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, the school faces equity concerns, as Hispanic, Native American, English Language Learner, and Special Education students tend to perform below the state average. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.9% to 99.2%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be impacting the school's overall performance. To address these challenges, further analysis of the school's resource allocation and improvement strategies, as well as collaboration with the district, may be necessary to ensure all students at Willcox High School have the opportunity to succeed.
