Summary

Lura Kinsey Elementary School serves 312 students from pre-K through grade 5 in Flagstaff and is part of Flagstaff Unified District, which SchoolDigger places at the 32nd percentile statewide with a 2-star rating. The most important concern is that Lura’s 2025–26 proficiency was below both district and state averages in English Language Arts and math: 28% in English Language Arts and 18% in math, compared with 34% and 26% districtwide, and 41% and 33% statewide.

Lura is near the bottom of the nearby-school group, with math the weaker subject. Among 10 nearby schools with all-grades results, Lura’s English Language Arts score was third-lowest and its math score second-lowest; the nearby averages were 43% and 37%, respectively, putting Lura 15 and 19 percentage points below them. Grade 4 English Language Arts is a relative bright spot within the school: Lura scored 41%, 13 points above its all-grades result, though 1 point below the district and 6 below the state. In Grade 4 math, Lura scored 20%, the lowest among six schools with results, and 14 points below the district and 20 below the state. Grade 3 results and Grade 5 math are suppressed, so those scores cannot be assessed.

SchoolDigger’s overall ranking has recovered from a low but remains last among nearby schools with a 2025–26 ranking: Lura is at the 26th percentile with 1 star, up from 12 in 2022–23 and a low of 6 in 2016–17; the other ranked nearby schools range from the 33rd to 82nd percentiles. Its latest percentile is close to its 25th-percentile result in 2013–14, but rankings moved considerably in between. The school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 12 to 1, lower than all but two nearby schools with reported ratios; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 64% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Native American students also shifted sharply: the group ranked at the 50th percentile in 2017–18, compared with 24th overall, but fell to the 16th percentile by 2022–23, compared with 12th overall.
