Summary:

Three high schools serve zip code 85552: Thatcher High School and GIFT – Gila Institute for Technology serve grades 9–12, while Eagle Online Academy serves grades 7–12; together, they enroll 585 students. Only Thatcher has numeric proficiency results; Eagle’s values are state-suppressed and none are listed for GIFT, so the figures cannot establish which school performs best academically. The clearest achievement finding is that Thatcher is above the state in all five reported comparisons: by 1 point in all-grade ELA, 2 points in all-grade math, 4 points in both grade-11 ELA and math, and 7 points in grade-11 science.

Thatcher stands out in the available achievement and graduation figures, but those results do not support ranking all three schools against one another. Its largest reported state advantage is grade-11 science at 7 percentage points; its grade-11 ELA and math advantages are 4 points each. Among the two schools with reported 2021–22 graduation rates, Thatcher is higher: 90% versus 83% at Eagle, a 7-point difference. GIFT has no school-level graduation figure in this comparison.

Thatcher’s SchoolDigger statewide standing has declined across the three years shown: its percentile went from 74 in 2023–24 to 61 in 2024–25 and 57 in 2025–26, down 17 points overall and 4 in the latest year; its listed rank shifted from 69 of 270 to 110 of 256. School size and reported student-teacher ratios also vary: Thatcher enrolls 512 students and has a ratio of 16.7, compared with Eagle’s 49 students and GIFT’s 24 students and ratio of 8. These differences provide context for choosing among schools, but the available figures do not show whether size or ratios are related to results.
