Summary:
Zip code 86505 has one middle school, Ganado Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 234 students. Its 2025–26 English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 16% across all grades, compared with 41% statewide—a 25-point gap. The clearest finding for families is that the school’s reported ELA proficiency is substantially below the state rate.
Ganado is the only school in the local list, so there is no other area school to rank above or below it. In the grades with reported results, its ELA rates match Ganado Unified School District: 23% in grade 7 and 15% in grade 8. Both are below state results—by 20 points in grade 7 and 24 points in grade 8. Grade 8 is the weaker of the two reported grades, with an 8-point gap between the school’s grade-level rates; the state’s gap is 4 points. School-level math and grade 6 ELA results are suppressed, so they cannot be used to assess the school.
The available information does not show whether test scores are improving or declining over time: scores are provided only for 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s latest listed ranking is 830 of 854 schools, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, for 2022–23; earlier entries were 602 of 605 in both 2018–19 and 2021–22. These rankings are from different years and do not establish a trend in proficiency. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 13.7, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is supplied. Its dropout rate was 3.4% in 2021–22, while the district and state figures provided are for 2024–25, so they are not directly comparable.
