The Flagstaff Unified District in Arizona encompasses 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like Manuel DeMiguel Elementary School and Charles W Sechrist Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the district and state, while others struggle to meet state averages, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
The district's high schools have a 78.4% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 5.2% dropout rate, on par with the state.

One bright spot in the district is Northern Arizona Distance Learning, a virtual high school with a strong performance record, including high graduation and low dropout rates. This highlights the potential of virtual education to serve students in the district, especially those who may face barriers to traditional schooling. Overall, the Flagstaff Unified District has areas of excellence, but also significant room for improvement, particularly in addressing equity and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education.
