Summary:
The city of Window Rock, Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Tsehootsooi Dine Bi'Olta, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the Window Rock Unified District, which is ranked 407 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tsehootsooi Dine Bi'Olta stands out for its 100% Native American student population, which is unique compared to the racial makeup of schools across the state. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 12, the lowest among the 3 elementary schools in the Window Rock Unified District, indicating a potentially more personalized learning environment. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, though higher than the district averages. In 5th grade Science, the school's proficiency rate of 17% is significantly higher than the district's 6% but still lower than the state's 34%.
Despite the academic performance challenges, Tsehootsooi Dine Bi'Olta appears to be allocating resources to support its students, as evidenced by the high per-student spending of $23,571 and the low student-teacher ratio. This may be necessary given the high percentage of students (32.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population. While the school's performance is below state averages, it shows some signs of improvement over time, with its statewide ranking increasing from 865 out of 1,109 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 717 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023.
