Middle Schools in Window Rock Unified District

The Window Rock Unified District in Arizona is home to two middle schools, Tsehootsooi Intermediate Learning Center and Tsehootsooi Middle School, both of which serve a predominantly Native American student population. Unfortunately, these schools are struggling academically, with consistently low test scores compared to state averages across core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Both Tsehootsooi Intermediate Learning Center and Tsehootsooi Middle School have very low rankings within the state, with Tsehootsooi Middle School ranking 658 out of 854 Arizona middle schools. The Window Rock Unified District, which these schools are a part of, is also ranked 407 out of 540 districts in Arizona and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests significant room for improvement in the overall quality of education provided in this area.

Despite the high spending per student at both schools, the data indicates that they are serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity, with virtually no representation of other racial/ethnic groups besides Native American, may have implications for the educational experiences and opportunities available to students in these schools.
