How to read Desert Mountain High School's results
Published subject results

Enrollment and tested counts
The reported three-year tested count is 1,326. NCES enrollment is 1,905 for the current school snapshot. Because these figures cover different periods and populations, tested divided by enrollment is not a participation rate.
School and admissions context
Desert Mountain High School is classified as a district public school in Scottsdale, Maricopa County. The profile uses an ordinary enrollment context label so families can account for meaningful differences in enrollment and instructional models when comparing schools.
