Williams Field High School up 7 spots statewide this year
Summary:

In ZIP code 85236, the list includes one public high school, Williams Field High School, serving grades 8–12 in the Higley Unified School District. The clearest takeaway is that Williams Field scored above Arizona’s state average in every reported test comparison, by 9 to 17 percentage points.

Williams Field is the area’s only listed school, so there are no other local schools to place above or below it. Its test results were consistently stronger than the state’s: it led by 14 points in all-grades ELA, 15 in all-grades math, 17 in 11th-grade ELA and math, and 9 in 11th-grade science. It was below district results in all five comparisons, with gaps ranging from 1 to 7 points; the largest was in all-grades math, at 48% compared with 55%. Graduation was another strength relative to the state: the 2024–25 rate was 96.2%, versus 80% statewide. It was just below the district’s 96.4% rate.

SchoolDigger gives Williams Field four stars and shows a small rise in its rank-history percentile, from the 75th percentile in each of the two prior years to the 76th in 2025–26. That history lists the school as 62nd of 256; SchoolDigger’s separate current summary lists it as 62nd of 267 and in the 77th percentile. The school has 2,150 students and a student–teacher ratio of 19.7; its free/reduced-lunch figure is blank. Because only one school is listed and comparable multi-year test scores are not provided, there is no school-to-school comparison or basis for identifying a test-score trend.
