Summary:
The city of Kayenta, Arizona is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 59% to 99% across the district, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.
While Monument Valley High School has a 86.7% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, the academic performance of the schools in Kayenta is consistently well below state standards. Debbie Braff Elementary School ranks in the bottom 5% of Arizona elementary schools, with only 9-21% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 8-12% proficient in Math. Two other schools, Kayenta Community School and Chilchinbeto Community School, lack statewide ranking data, making it difficult to assess their academic performance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite the challenges faced by the schools in Kayenta, the district spends between $9,490 and $11,697 per student, which is generally higher than the state average. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, ranging from 10.2 to 14.7. These factors suggest that the schools may require significant additional resources, support, and targeted interventions to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by their students and improve educational outcomes in the Kayenta community.
