Summary:
The 84534 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Montezuma Creek School and Aneth Community School) and 1 high school (Whitehorse High). These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population and face significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance and high poverty rates among the student body.
Among the standout schools, Aneth Community School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio of 10.1, indicating smaller class sizes, while Montezuma Creek School has the second-lowest ratio at 16.2. Both elementary schools have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, with Montezuma Creek School reaching 99.65%, the highest among the 3 schools.
The test scores for all schools in the 84534 zip code area are significantly lower than the San Juan District and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade English Language Arts, Whitehorse High's proficiency rate is only 6.7%, compared to the district's 25.3% and the state's 42.6%. This persistent challenge in academic achievement suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the educational disparities in this area.
