Yavapai News

Bradshaw Mountain High School had the highest enrollment among Yavapai County schools, welcoming 1,669 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 51.1% of them were boys, and 48.9% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, accounting for 53% of the Bradshaw Mountain High School's total enrollment.

Among the 70 schools in Yavapai County, Prescott High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,473 students, while Mingus Union High School welcomed 1,204 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Bradshaw Mountain High School is part of Humboldt Unified District, which roughly covers schools within Yavapai County and has a main office in Prescott Valley.

In the previous school year, Bradshaw Mountain High School also had the highest number of students among Yavapai County schools.

According to a recent study by ConsumerAffairs, Arizona ranked last in overall education quality in 2024, placing 51st among U.S. states and Washington, D.C. The state ranked 40th in K-12 performance, 43rd in higher education quality, and 45th in school safety.

However, its most striking issue was school funding, where it ranked 50th. Arizona spent only $11,234 per student in the 2023-24 school year, significantly below the national average of $16,722. This funding gap limits resources, teacher salaries, and infrastructure, contributing to the state’s overall low ranking.
