Summary:
ZIP code 85941 has six schools—four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—with five in Whiteriver Unified District and John F. Kennedy Day School listed separately. The clearest finding is that none of the four schools with reported 2025–26 all-grades results meets the state proficiency rate: their average is 17% in ELA versus 41% statewide, and 14% in math versus 33% statewide.
Seven Mile School and Whiteriver Elementary tie for the strongest reported all-grades ELA result at 21%, while Seven Mile leads in math at 24%; that is 9 points below the state rate. At the other end, Canyon Day Junior High School reports 9% in ELA and 3% in math, 12 and 21 points below the area’s highest school results. Grade-level results show a different distinction: Whiteriver leads Seven Mile in fourth-grade ELA, 30% to 25%, and math, 19% to 14%. Cradleboard School reports 17% in ELA and 14% in math. Alchesay High School reports 6% grade 11 science proficiency and a 57% graduation rate, compared with 19% and 80% statewide.
SchoolDigger rankings show mixed changes, not a shared upward trend: Seven Mile rose 3 percentile points between 2023–24 and 2025–26, while Alchesay fell 12 points and Cradleboard fell 19 over their reported periods; the latest rankings range from the 1st percentile for Canyon Day and Alchesay to the 8th for Seven Mile. Ratios also vary: Seven Mile has the highest, at 19.8 students per teacher, and the strongest all-grades math result; Canyon Day has 13.3 and the lowest result, so these figures do not by themselves explain achievement. John F. Kennedy Day School’s reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 98%, but other schools have no listed rate. Test scores cover only one year, and the schools’ SchoolDigger ranking years differ, so neither establishes a shared achievement trend.
