Chinle Unified District

Summary:

The Chinle Unified District in Arizona operates 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 157 out of 288 districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Many Farms Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the district, ranked 185 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. It significantly outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Tsaile Elementary School is the second-highest ranked school, outperforming the district and state averages in multiple grade levels.

However, the majority of schools in the Chinle Unified District struggle to meet state averages in academic proficiency, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support. The district also faces challenges such as high poverty levels, with most schools having over 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and lower-than-average graduation rates at the high school level. Addressing these complex issues will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for students in the district.
