Summary:
Five elementary schools serve ZIP code 86045, with grade spans from K–5 to K–8 and enrollments ranging from 14 to 1,040 students. The schools serve very different contexts, including two with reported free- or reduced-price lunch rates of about 100% and 97%. Only Tuba City Elementary School has reportable current test results; its proficiency is above the district’s but below Arizona’s, the most important takeaway for comparing academic results in this area.
No school can be named the area’s highest- or lowest-scoring overall, but Tuba City Elementary is the only one that can be compared directly with the state and district. Its all-grades ELA proficiency is 20%, compared with 15% in Tuba City Unified School District #15 and 41% statewide; in mathematics, the figures are 23%, 16%, and 33%. That leaves the school 21 percentage points below the state in ELA and 10 points below in mathematics. Mathematics is closer to the state overall, though the gap varies by grade: grade 5 mathematics is 20 points below the state, while the grade 4 gap is 8 points.
Tuba City Elementary’s SchoolDigger percentile ranking has risen from the 2nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 10th in 2025–2026, an 8-point gain, though it remains in the bottom tenth statewide. School context also varies: Tuba City Boarding School enrolls 1,040 students and has a 16.2 student–teacher ratio; Moencopi Day School enrolls 89, with a 14.8 ratio. Tsinaabaas Habitiin Elementary School has 29 students and a 7.6 ratio, while Dzil Libei Elementary School has 14 students and a 2.9 ratio; these differences describe school settings but do not establish how results compare.
