Ganado Intermediate School

Ganado Intermediate School serves 194 students in grades 3–5 in Ganado, Arizona. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed picture: math is slightly above the state, while ELA is below it, and the available science result is much lower than the state’s. The most important takeaway is that performance varies sharply by subject rather than being uniformly strong or weak.

Math is the clearest strength compared with the state and the Ganado Unified School District: 35% of students were proficient, versus 33% statewide and 17% districtwide. ELA proficiency was 27%, above the district’s 19% but below the state’s 41%; the available fifth-grade science result was 6%, matching the district but well below the state’s 34%. Within the school, fourth-grade math was strongest at 41%, while third-grade math was 27%; fifth-grade ELA results are suppressed. Ganado Intermediate is the largest of the nearby schools with reported enrollment (194, compared with 162, 56, and 143) and has the highest reported student–teacher ratio, 12.9 versus 12.4, 4.4, and 12.4. Nearby schools’ test scores and SchoolDigger ratings are unavailable, and subject scores are provided for only one year, so local academic comparisons and score trends cannot be determined.

SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 7 in 2022–2023 to 21 in 2024–2025 and 39 in 2025–2026, a 32-point increase, though the latest standing remains below the statewide midpoint. SchoolDigger lists the school at rank 547 of 900 with 2 stars, an improvement from rank 718 of 909 and 1 star in 2024–2025. Its statewide measure of how well the school serves Native American students rose from the 10th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 57th in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 39th percentile. The measure for Low Socio Economic Status students also climbed, from the 8th to the 49th percentile over those years.
