Williams High School

Summary:

Williams High School is a public high school serving 242 students in grades 9-12 in Williams, Arizona, which is part of the Williams Unified District. The school has a diverse student population, but its academic performance and graduation rates are generally lower than the nearby Ash Fork High School.

Williams High School has a racial makeup of 50.83% White, 39.67% Hispanic, and 4.55% Native American, which is more diverse than the 42% White and 54% Hispanic student population at Ash Fork High School. However, Williams High School has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Arizona high schools, with only 22-24% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 19-22% proficient in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 80.7% to 95.2% over the past 5 years, which is generally lower than Ash Fork High School's 95% graduation rate.

One notable finding is the significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Williams High School, from 17.48% in 2021-2022 to 40.91% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for homeless and foster care students but lower rankings for female, Asian, and white students. These inconsistencies suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the diverse student population at Williams High School.

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.
