Summary:
The 86556 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Tsaile Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of the Chinle Unified District, which is ranked 157 out of 288 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tsaile Elementary School has a unique student population, with 99.49% of students identifying as Native American. The school's academic performance is a mixed bag, with some areas of strength, such as outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for grades 3-7 and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3, 6, and 8. However, the school also underperforms the district and state in other areas, including ELA for grades 4, 5, and 8, as well as Mathematics for grades 4, 5, 7, and 8. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates for grades 5 and 8 are significantly lower than the district and state averages.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,419 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, Tsaile Elementary School faces some challenges. The school has a concerning 11.5% dropout rate, which is relatively high for an elementary school. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic needs, as evidenced by the high percentage (72.56%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors suggest the need for a more in-depth analysis to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance patterns and identify appropriate interventions to support student success.
