Summary:
The 86504 zip code area in Arizona is home to 4 schools, including 1 high school, 2 middle schools, and 1 elementary school, all part of the Window Rock Unified District. While the schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, they face significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores and graduation rates compared to state averages.
Window Rock High School, the only high school in the data set, has a 4-year graduation rate of just 83.9% and a dropout rate of 6.6%. Its test scores are also well below state averages, with only 27% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 12% in Mathematics. In contrast, the two middle schools, Tsehootsooi Intermediate Learning Center and Tsehootsooi Middle School, have similarly low academic performance, with only 20-25% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and less than 13% in Mathematics across grades 4-6.
Despite the high spending per student, ranging from $13,542 to $17,084, and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools in this zip code area are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students. The high rates of economic disadvantage, with 39.23% to 47.39% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the observed challenges.
