Bradshaw Mountain High School is fully accredited by the North Central Association Commission. It is a comprehensive high school serving 1,563 students in grades 9-12.

All graduating students met or exceeded the state high school exit exam (AIMS) through proficiency or augmentation. Nine students exceeded the AIMS standards, thereby becoming eligible for full tuition throughout their four years at any of the state public universities. Approximately 21% of BMHS students have a Primary Home Language Other Than English, indicated as primarily Spanish.

The high school is named after the Bradshaw Mountains, a mountain range in the Sonoran Desert of Central Arizona, USA located approximately 52 minutes from the campus.
