Summary:

The 86505 zip code is home to a single middle school, Ganado Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Ganado Unified School District, which is ranked 271 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ganado Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 602 out of 605 Arizona middle schools in 2018-2019 to 830 out of 854 in 2022-2023, with a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 18-22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40-42% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 5.2% for the 2023-2024 school year.

While the school has a higher-than-average spending per student of $13,768 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The data suggests that the educational landscape in the 86505 zip code may be in need of significant improvement, and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure that all students in the area have access to a high-quality education.
