Statewide standing

Cactus Shadows High School ranks #46 among 270 eligible Arizona public high schools in the 2025 achievement ranking. Its score is 1.02, corresponding to a statewide percentile of 83 among eligible schools.

Published subject results

The three-year reportable passing percentages are ACT English Language Arts 66%, ACT Mathematics 56%, and AzSCI Science 30%. The ranking uses available proficiency bands and the published suppression fallbacks, so passing percentages provide context but are not the score by themselves.

Enrollment and tested counts

A complete three-year tested-student count is unavailable. Any reportable proficiency percentages remain visible, but the site does not invent a count or estimate a participation rate. NCES enrollment is 1,362. The count covering scoreable years is —; this is the separate count used for eligibility when it is available.

Admissions evidence

Not yet verified

Admission requirements have not yet been verified. Normal is a classification, not a guarantee of unrestricted admission.

A normal-context label is not proof of unrestricted entry. Policies, grade openings and capacity can change. Confirm the process directly with the school.

Annual assessment results

Reported proficiency for different yearly cohorts is not individual student growth or a measure of teaching effectiveness. Missing years and suppressed cells remain gaps.

Four-year and five-year figures can refer to different graduating cohorts. ADE enrollment is an October snapshot across all campus grades, separate from the NCES enrollment above. Protected cells remain unavailable; a reported bound is not an exact rate. These context measures do not change the Achievement score.

Official A-F grades and open-enrollment participation are not yet verified in this export. Historical participation would not establish current seat availability.
