Summary:
The city of Keams Canyon, Arizona is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly Native American student population. The schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high rates of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch programs, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
Among the standout schools, Hopi Junior/Senior High School stands out for its 100% Native American student population and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which could provide more personalized attention for students. In contrast, Jeddito School, an elementary school, has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools and has very low proficiency rates in core subjects, as well as a concerning high dropout rate of 5.6%.
The data reveals that the Keams Canyon school system faces significant challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, underperforming schools, and high dropout rates. However, the low student-teacher ratios at Jeddito School and Keams Canyon Elementary School could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students, potentially leading to improved academic performance. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, community-based approach to ensure that all students in Keams Canyon have access to a high-quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
