Summary

Monument Valley High School is a public high school located in Kayenta, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 668 students. The school is part of the Kayenta Unified School District #27, which is ranked 276 out of 289 school districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monument Valley High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools, with rankings ranging from 250 to 419 out of 270-469 schools over the past several years. The school's performance has been stagnant, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger over the same period. While the school's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all tested subjects, the school's graduation rate has ranged from 77.5% to 90.0%, which is generally lower than the state average.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Monument Valley High School, the school's overall academic performance and other key metrics remain significantly below the state average. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes, and that the school may need to focus on other factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and support services, to better support student learning. Addressing the challenges facing Monument Valley High School and the Kayenta Unified School District as a whole will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach that goes beyond individual school-level interventions.
