Metcalf Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Greenlee County schools, welcoming 790 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, 50.3% of them were boys, and 49.7% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic or Latino, accounting for 63.3% of the Metcalf Elementary School's total enrollment.

Among the six schools in Greenlee County, Fairbanks Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 395 students, while Morenci High School welcomed 367 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Metcalf Elementary School is part of Morenci Unified District, which roughly covers schools within Greenlee County and has a main office in Morenci.

In the previous school year, Metcalf Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Greenlee 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.
