White Mountain Institute

Summary:

White Mountain Institute is a small public high school in Show Low, Arizona, serving 42 students in grades 9-12. This school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in science and English language arts, outpacing the local Show Low Unified District and the state of Arizona.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance among specific student subgroups. In the 2020-2021 school year, White Mountain Institute ranked 31st out of 479 Arizona high schools for its Hispanic students, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is effectively supporting and challenging its diverse student population. However, the school may need to focus on strengthening its mathematics instruction and support, as it lags behind Show Low High School in this area.

While White Mountain Institute has a higher percentage of Hispanic and Native American students compared to the state average, it has a lower percentage of African American and Asian students. This could indicate an opportunity to further diversify the student population and ensure equitable access and support for all racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the school has seen significant fluctuations in its per-student spending, which may impact its ability to consistently provide resources and support for its students. Despite these challenges, the school's smaller class size, with 11.1 students per teacher, may contribute to its academic success and ability to provide personalized attention to its students.

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.

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.
