Summary:
The 86045 zip code area is home to three high schools: Tuba City High School, Greyhills Academy High School, and Nizhoni Accelerated Academy. These schools serve a diverse student population and face unique challenges, with some standout performance metrics and areas for improvement.
Greyhills Academy High School stands out with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (97.99%) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9. In contrast, Nizhoni Accelerated Academy has the highest per-student spending at $16,817, yet its graduation rate and dropout rate are on par with Tuba City High School, which spends significantly less per student at $9,365. This suggests that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
Across the three schools, Tuba City High School stands out with consistently lower test scores compared to district and state averages, with only 15% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year. The data also highlights potential funding disparities within the Tuba City Unified School District #15 and the unique challenges faced by the predominantly low-income student population at Greyhills Academy High School.
