Coconino High School has a diverse student population, with 31.81% White, 35.34% Hispanic, and 26.77% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was 20%, compared to 25% for the district and 30% for the state. The school's graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 83.1% in 2020-2021 to 89.4% in 2021-2022, which is lower than the 92.6% graduation rate at the nearby Flagstaff High School.

Interestingly, the nearby Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, a public charter high school, significantly outperforms Coconino High School in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking. Additionally, the Northern Arizona Distance Learning, a virtual high school within the Flagstaff Unified District, also outperforms Coconino High School in several academic areas, suggesting that the virtual school model may be more effective for some students in the district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This is a really good school. All of my teachers so far are amazing. In my old high school in Tucson, my math teacher told me that I wouldn't succeed but my Coconino math teacher is actually teaching me algebra. I'm finally getting straight A's for the first time in my school years. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.

Impact of COVID-19 on Coconino High School

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased.
