Summary

Serving families in Williams, Arizona, Williams Elementary/Middle School enrolls 423 students in pre-K through grade 8. In 2025–26, reported proficiency was 29% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 19% in mathematics, below Arizona’s 41% and 33%. The clearest concern is mathematics: Williams matched its district at 19% but trailed the two nearby schools with reported results, Maine Consolidated School at 43% and Ash Fork Elementary School at 56%.

ELA is the school’s relative strength, though it still trails nearby schools: Williams scored 29%, compared with 27% in the Williams Unified District and 41% statewide. Nearby ELA results ranged from 36% to 41%, averaging 38%, so Williams was 9 points below that average. A bright spot is grade 4, where Williams exceeded the state in both ELA, 51% versus 47%, and math, 46% versus 40%. Reported middle-grade ELA results were weaker: grade 8 was 22%, compared with 39% statewide.

Recent indicators are mixed: grade 5 science proficiency fell from 31% in 2022–23 to 27% in 2024–25, while SchoolDigger’s overall standing rose from the 32nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 48th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26. In the latest year shared with nearby schools, 2022–23, Williams ranked at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars, below their 60th-to-69th-percentile rankings and 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well it served English Language Learner Students was at the 92nd percentile in 2022–23, versus the school’s overall 43rd; its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 14th percentile in 2021–22 to the 53rd in 2023–24. The student–teacher ratio was 18.3, below the nearby average of 20.1, and the free/reduced-lunch rate was 54% in 2022–23. Some grade-level scores and Heritage Elementary - Williams’s math result are suppressed, so comparisons use reported figures only.
