Summary:
Ganado has seven schools—five elementary, one middle and one high—serving students from prekindergarten through high school, with individual grade spans ranging from prekindergarten–grade 2 at Ganado Primary School to kindergarten–grade 8 at Greasewood Springs Community School Inc. The available results show a mix of outcomes, and the most important concern is that Ganado Middle School’s all-grades ELA proficiency is 16%, compared with 41% statewide.
Ganado Intermediate School has the strongest clearly documented test results: 27% in all-grades ELA and 35% in math, compared with 16% ELA at Ganado Middle. Intermediate’s ELA result is still 14 points below the state’s 41%, while its math result is 2 points above the state’s 33%. Its grade 4 math result is a bright spot at 41%, one point above the state figure. Ganado Middle’s ELA result is 25 points below the state, with grade 7 at 23% versus 43% statewide and grade 8 at 15% versus 39%. Ganado High School’s graduation rate is 64%, 16 points below the state’s 80%; its school-level test scores are suppressed.
SchoolDigger’s reported rankings show improvement at Intermediate but not a consistent area-wide trend: its percentile rose from 7 in 2022–2023 to 39 in 2025–2026, when it ranked 547 of 900 and received 2 stars. Middle was at the 3rd percentile, ranked 830 of 854 with 0 stars in 2022–2023; High was at the 2nd percentile, ranked 265 of 271 with 0 stars in 2024–2025. Student–teacher ratios also vary: the three Ganado schools range from 12.9 to 13.9, compared with 36.3 at Greasewood Springs and 4.4 at Nazlini Community School. The supplied data do not include test results for Greasewood Springs or Nazlini, so their ratios cannot be compared with achievement; likewise, reported high free/reduced-lunch rates at Kin Dah Lichi'i Olta, Greasewood Springs and Nazlini are context, not an explanation of results.
