In the 2023-24 school year, 76% of 267 Mingus Union High School District students failed their ACT Language Arts test, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

The students who took the ACT were assessed at four proficiency levels in each subject. Those at proficiency level one and two failed the test, while students who reached the third and fourth proficiency level passed the test.

Of those who failed, most achieved proficiency level one.

Mingus Union High School District roughly covers schools within Yavapai County and has a main office in Cottonwood.

A 2023 study from Scholaroo ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor marks for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.

Additionally, WalletHub also claimed Arizona’s school system ranked among the worst across U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors’ credentials.
