Leupp Public School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Leupp Public School is an elementary school located in Flagstaff, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of around 150, the vast majority of whom are Native American. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently poor academic performance, low rankings, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Leupp Public School stands out for its overwhelmingly high percentage of Native American students, ranging from 96.67% to 97.76% over the past 3 school years, which is much higher than the nearby Eva Marshall Elementary School, W F Killip Elementary School, and other schools in the Flagstaff Unified District. This unique demographic composition is likely due to the school's location on the Navajo Nation reservation. However, the school's academic performance is consistently poor, with proficiency rates ranging from just 7% to 13% in English Language Arts and 7% to 11% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Leupp Public School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 1064 out of 1109 schools in 2017-2018 to 1228 out of 1245 schools in 2022-2023. The school has received 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. This poor performance is particularly pronounced for the school's Native American, male, and special education student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 50% of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, Leupp Public School has a very high percentage of students (around 88%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, highlighting the significant economic disadvantages faced by the student population.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, July 6, 2017

I have been a parent here for 5 years. This school is great in the elementary years. I am pleased to say that Leupp has Music instruction once again. We are happy to have Mrs. Hartgrove and her Music class. Mrs. Dunfee is our specials teacher and she teaches P.E., Library and Art. She is a gem to treasure for sure! She has extraordinary energy that is given to the students and they really appreciate all that she does for the kids. Our PTO is small but entirely dedicated to the kids. They sponsor field trips and meals for the students. The PTO is very active. We are the unique elementary school because of the population being almost a 100 percent Navajo. Great setting to work in!
