Schools in Zip Code 86045

ZIP code 86045 has nine schools—five elementary, one middle and three high—serving kindergarten through grade 12, including one school serving grades 7–12; enrollment ranges from 14 to 1,040 students. The clearest finding from 2025–2026 AASA results is that reported proficiency is substantially below Arizona rates: all-grades ELA averages 17% across the two schools with scores, versus 41% statewide, and all-grades math averages 16% across three schools, versus 33% statewide. Only Tuba City Elementary School, Tuba City Junior High School and Tuba City High School have usable all-grades results; other listed results are absent or suppressed. Even the strongest reported results fall short of the state benchmarks.

Tuba City Elementary School leads among schools with scores, with 20% proficient in ELA and 23% in math; its ELA result is the only reported all-grades school score above the Tuba City Unified School District #15 figure, 15%. Tuba City Junior High School is at the low end, with 14% in ELA and 8% in math—6 and 15 points below Elementary, respectively. Tuba City High School reports 16% in all-grades math. Elementary’s grade 4 math result is a relative bright spot: 32%, 8 points below Arizona’s 40%.

Recent SchoolDigger rankings improved for Elementary and Junior High, but not steadily across all three schools: Elementary rose from the 2nd to the 10th percentile between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026, and Junior High from the 4th to the 10th percentile between 2021–2022 and 2023–2024; High’s latest ranking was the 11th percentile, down 2 percentile points from 2022–2023. These rankings are not test-score trends. The schools’ student-teacher ratios also do not make a simple comparison: Elementary’s is 12.3, compared with 10 at Junior High and 15.5 at High, yet Elementary has the strongest reported scores. High’s separate 2024–2025 outcomes add context: its graduation rate was 73%, 8 points below Arizona’s 80%, while its 7% dropout rate was 2 points above the state’s 5%.
