High Schools in Maricopa Unified

Maricopa Unified School District in California has only one high school, Maricopa High, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 84 students. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 1,042 out of 2,323 California high schools in 2023-2024 and 1,662 out of 2,123 in 2021-2022. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 3 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 over the past few years.

Academically, Maricopa High faces challenges, with its 11th-grade students scoring 50% proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, on par with the district but below the state average of 55.73%. In Mathematics, the school's 11th-grade students scored 15% proficient or better, the same as the district average but well below the state average of 27.9%. The school's 10th-grade students scored 21.43% proficient or better in Science, on par with the district but below the state average of 24.63%. These academic struggles may be influenced by the high percentage (96.43%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Maricopa High has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.6, which may provide students with more individualized attention and support. However, the school's overall performance, as measured by its fluctuating ranking and rating, suggests that further efforts may be needed to improve the educational outcomes for students at Maricopa High within the Maricopa Unified School District.
