Summary:
The 86547 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Round Rock Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 68 students. While the school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate, its academic performance is significantly below state averages, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels.
Round Rock Elementary School stands out for its unique student demographics, with a 100% Native American population and a high percentage (92.65%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 and its significantly higher per-student spending of $24,920 compared to the state average, these investments do not appear to translate into strong academic outcomes for the students.
The school's consistently low performance, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years, suggests that the combination of economic disadvantage, low academic achievement, and lack of racial/ethnic diversity may pose significant challenges for the school and its community. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the school's struggles and improve educational opportunities for the students of Red Mesa Unified District.
