SchoolDigger gives Higley a four-star rating in each of the three years shown, though its ranking history dipped and then partly recovered: its percentile went from 83 in 2023–24 to 78 in 2024–25 and 81 in 2025–26. Its rank shifted from 45th of 270 schools to 59th of 271, then improved to 49th of 256. These are SchoolDigger rankings, not a trend in test scores. The student–teacher ratio is 18.7, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is provided. With one school listed and no earlier proficiency results, families cannot compare local schools or track achievement changes over time from these data.
