Why This District Is Not Yet Rated
Mount Anthony UHSD 14 does not currently have a SchoolDistrictFinder rating. Our ratings are based on state assessment proficiency data (reading and math) published in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection, and this district does not yet have sufficient reported proficiency data to calculate a reliable score. This is common for very small districts, special-purpose or charter agencies, and newly reorganized districts.
An unrated status is not a negative signal — it simply means we don’t have enough assessment data to place Mount Anthony UHSD 14 on the 1–10 scale yet. Families researching this area should contact the district directly for school performance information, request the most recent state report card, and visit schools in person before making a housing or enrollment decision based on zip code 05201 data.
