Summary

Many Farms Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Chinle Unified District in Arizona. The school has 283 students and is located in the town of Many Farms, AZ. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 129 out of 909 Arizona elementary schools in 2024-2025 to as low as 1099 out of 1158 in 2012-2013. The school's current rating is 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Many Farms Elementary excels in serving its predominantly Native American and low-income student population, ranking 1st out of 12 Arizona elementary schools for its Native American students and 11th out of 549 for low-socioeconomic status students in 2024-2025, both with 5-star ratings. The school also consistently outperforms the Chinle Unified District and the state of Arizona in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates around 70-85% in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance declines significantly in the upper grades, with proficiency rates dropping to single digits in some subjects and grade levels, and it has experienced high dropout rates ranging from 5.2% to 15.9% in recent years.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Chinle Unified District, such as Mesa View Elementary, Canyon De Chelly Elementary, and Chinle Elementary, Many Farms Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, particularly in the early grades. However, the nearby schools also struggle with low performance, suggesting systemic challenges within the district that need to be addressed. Despite the school's higher spending per student ($19,818 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, the school's overall performance still lags behind the state, indicating the need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource utilization and instructional practices.
