Summary:
Zip code 85928 has two middle schools in the Heber-Overgaard Unified District: Capps Elementary School, serving grades 4–6, and Mogollon Junior High School, serving grades 7–8. Together, their reported all-grades results average 52% in English Language Arts (ELA), 11 points above the state rate, and 30% in math, 3 points below it. The clearest area-wide signal is that results are stronger relative to the state in ELA than in math.
The schools lead in different subjects: Mogollon has the higher all-grades ELA result, at 54% compared with Capps’ 50%, while Capps leads in math, at 33% compared with Mogollon’s 27%. Against state rates, Mogollon is 13 points higher in ELA and 6 points lower in math; Capps is 9 points higher in ELA and matches the state in math. Capps’ ELA results also vary notably by grade: grades 4 and 5 are each 15 points above their state rates, while grade 6 is 6 points below. In science, Capps grade 5 is 4 points above its state rate, and Mogollon grade 8 is 14 points above its grade’s rate. Because the schools serve different grades, their schoolwide results and science results are not direct same-grade comparisons; several grade-level math results are suppressed, and free/reduced-lunch entries are blank.
Mogollon’s SchoolDigger ranking improved overall, from 196th of 550 schools in 2023–24 to 155th of 536 in 2025–26, though its percentile eased from 74 to 71 in the latest year after reaching 74. Capps has 107 students and a 13.5 student–teacher ratio; Mogollon has 82 students and an 11.4 ratio. Those figures distinguish the schools, but the results do not show one school leading in both subjects: Mogollon leads in ELA, while Capps leads in math. No multi-year proficiency results are supplied, so the ranking history does not show whether test results are moving closer to or farther from state rates.
