Summary:
ZIP code 86442 has eight schools: five elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The latest reported results show a sharp divide: the two Mohave Accelerated schools lead in both subjects, while the other five schools with reportable all-grades results are below state rates in both. Across the seven schools with reported scores, the average is 34% in English language arts (ELA) and 29% in math, compared with state rates of 41% and 33%. The most important finding for families is that area-wide averages mask very different results from school to school.
Mohave Accelerated Elementary School East is the clear leader, with 54% proficient in ELA and 59% in math—13 and 26 percentage points above the state. Mohave Accelerated Elementary School is close behind at 52% and 57%, respectively, also above state rates. At the lower end, Fox Creek Junior High School has the lowest reported math result at 8%, 25 points below state; Fox Creek and Bullhead City Middle School tie for the lowest ELA result at 22%, 19 points below state. Grade-matched results also show sizable differences: in fourth-grade ELA, East has 77% proficiency versus 28% at Diamondback Elementary School.
SchoolDigger rankings have risen recently at several schools, including East, up 19 percentile points to the 95th, and Desert Valley School, up 19 points to the 32nd; these ranking changes do not show whether test proficiency is improving. Diamondback’s latest ranking is at the 7th percentile, down from the 36th in 2023–24. Mohave High School has below-state test results but a higher graduation rate—89% versus 80% statewide. Reported student-teacher ratios range from 13.7 at East to 19.4 at Mohave High, but ratios are available for only three schools, and the figures do not establish why results differ. Coyote Canyon School enrolls 90 students, but its all-grades scores are suppressed, so its results cannot be compared here.
