Shonto Governing Board of Education Inc.

The Shonto Governing Board of Education Inc. district in Arizona is home to a single public charter high school, Shonto Preparatory Technology High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 70 students. The school stands out for its 100% Native American student population, which is significantly higher than the state average, but it has consistently low performance, ranking 436th out of 469 Arizona high schools and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shonto Preparatory Technology High School's 4-year graduation rate of 84.6% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.9% is higher. The school's proficiency rates in Science (5%) and English Language Arts (5%) for grade 11 are also significantly lower than the state averages of 22% and 40%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, and its spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was an unusually low $0.

These findings suggest that Shonto Preparatory Technology High School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The lack of diversity, consistently low performance, and potential resource challenges may require targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the school and its student population. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the Shonto Governing Board of Education Inc. to ensure that all students in the district have access to a quality education.
