Summary:
The 85937 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Snowflake Junior High School and Snowflake Intermediate School, both part of the Snowflake Unified District. Based on the available data, Snowflake Junior High School stands out as a high-performing middle school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Arizona middle schools over the past 3 years.
Snowflake Junior High School's test scores are significantly above the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 64% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 40%, and 53% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 30%. The school's dropout rate of 5.2% is also lower than the state average. In contrast, while Snowflake Intermediate School's test scores appear to be generally above the state and district averages, it does not have the same level of performance data available.
The similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools suggest that the Snowflake Unified District is allocating resources fairly across its middle school campuses, which may be a contributing factor to the strong performance observed at both schools. The data also suggests a potential feeder school relationship between Snowflake Intermediate School (grades 4-6) and Snowflake Junior High School (grades 6-9), with the former effectively preparing students for the transition to the junior high school.
