Academics
In the fiscal year 2019, the Arizona Department of Education published an annual achievement profile for every public school in the state based on an A through F scale. Linden Elementary received an "A" while Nikolaus Homestead and Show Low High School jointly received a "B", and Show Low Junior High received a "C".[4] Whipple Ranch and White Mountain Institute were not rated by the organization. Scores were based on "year to year student academic growth, proficiency on English language arts, math and science, the proficiency and academic growth of English language learners, indicators that an elementary student is ready for success in high school and that high school students are ready to succeed in a career or higher education and high school graduation rates".[4]
The United States national nonprofit organization, GreatSchools, gives the following school ratings: Linden Elementary 6/10 (about average), Nikolaus Homestead 5/10 (about average), Show Low Junior High 5/10 (about average), Show Low High School 5/10 (about average), and White Mountain Institute 2/10 (below average).[5] Whipple Ranch was not rated by the organization. The organization gives Show Low High School a 5/10 for "Academic progress", 4/10 for "College readiness", 6/10 for standardized "test scores", and 3/10 "equity" (disadvantaged students at this school may be falling behind).[5]
The district also includes White Mountain Institute, an online school.
