Summary:
Zip code 86046 has two schools in Williams Elementary/Middle School and Williams High School, serving pre-K through grade 12 in Williams Unified District; together, they enroll 654 students. The elementary/middle school’s all-grades proficiency rates are below state levels: 29% in ELA versus 41% statewide and 19% in math versus 33%. The high school’s AASA results are suppressed. The clearest takeaway is that results vary notably by grade: fourth grade is above state rates in both reported subjects, despite the school’s lower all-grades results.
Fourth grade is the strongest reported academic bright spot: ELA proficiency is 51%, 4 points above the state rate, and math is 46%, 6 points above. By contrast, the elementary/middle school’s eighth-grade ELA rate is 22%, 17 points below the state; seventh-grade ELA is 34%, 9 points below. In science, fifth grade at the elementary/middle school is 27%, 7 points below its state comparison, while the high school’s 11th-grade rate is 23%, 4 points above. These are relative strengths and weaknesses, not a direct school-to-school comparison.
SchoolDigger gives both schools two stars. Its percentile for the elementary/middle school rose from 32 in 2023–24 to 48 in 2025–26, while the high school’s went from 42 in 2021–22 to 34 in 2024–25, including a 12-point drop from its 2022–23 percentile of 46. The elementary/middle school enrolls 423 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 18.3; the high school enrolls 231, with a ratio of 14. Free/reduced-lunch figures are not provided. The high school’s AASA results are suppressed, and the schools serve different grades, so the available figures do not support a direct overall academic ranking or show a shared test-score trend over time.
