Summary:
High schools in Asher consist of one school, Asher High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 74 students. Its latest proficiency results show a mixed picture: English Language Arts I is at the state level, but math and science are notably below it. The most important academic concern is math, where 7% of students were proficient compared with 25% statewide, an 18-point gap.
Because there is only one school in the area, there are no meaningful school-to-school standouts or peer rankings. Within the school’s subject results, U.S. History is strongest at 36%, just 5 points below the state’s 41%; math is lowest at 7%, 18 points below the state. Science proficiency was 15% versus 30% statewide, while English Language Arts I matched the state at 26%. The 29-point spread between the school’s highest and lowest subjects is wider than the state’s 16-point spread, so an overall average would hide important differences by subject.
Proficiency improved in three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: math rose 2 points, science 3 points, and U.S. History 7 points; English Language Arts I stayed at 26%. The school’s SchoolDigger rating remained one star in each of the three years reported. Its statewide ranking improved from 388 of 463 schools (16th percentile) in 2024–2025 to 331 of 462 (28th percentile) in 2025–2026, though the comparison group changed in size. Other measures are encouraging: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89%, versus 78% statewide, and 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 7%, compared with 8% in the district and 16% statewide. Context measures for 2024–2025 include a 13:1 student-teacher ratio and 57% free/reduced lunch eligible; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
