Summary:
ZIP code 85203 has one listed high school, Academy with Community Partners, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 170 students. Its student-teacher ratio is 9.9, but there is no second local high school for families to compare. Most importantly, in 2024–25 its graduation rate was 56%, compared with 80% statewide, or 24 percentage points lower; its dropout rate was 13%, versus 5% statewide, or 8 points higher.
The sole school cannot be described as a local top or bottom performer, but its graduation and dropout figures are less favorable than the state benchmarks. The supplied data do not identify a subject-area strength: school-level AASA results are suppressed for both ELA and math, including grade 11, so no school-versus-state gap or ELA-versus-math advantage can be determined. For context, statewide proficiency was 41% in ELA and 33% in math across all grades; in grade 11, it was 38% and 31%, respectively. Those state figures do not show how students at this school performed.
SchoolDigger’s reported statewide percentile fell from 58 in 2020–21 to 48 in 2021–22 and 3 in 2022–23—a decline of 55 percentile points overall, including 45 points in the final year. Its corresponding ranks were 216 of 509, 239 of 464, and 456 of 469; these indicate a sharp drop in relative standing, but do not explain its cause. The 9.9 student-teacher ratio and blank free/reduced-lunch entry offer little basis for comparing local schools or explaining outcomes, and the available figures do not establish a connection between staffing and results.
