Best High Schools in Zip Code 86505

ZIP code 86505 has one listed high school, Ganado High School, serving grades 9–12 with 390 students, so families have no other listed local high school to compare it with. The most important outcome to weigh is graduation: in 2024–25, 64% of students graduated, compared with 80% statewide, a 16-percentage-point gap.

On SchoolDigger’s statewide measure, Ganado stands out near the bottom: it ranked 265th of 271 high schools in 2024–25, at the 2nd percentile and with 0 stars. At the district level, 2025–26 proficiency was also below state results in both subjects: ELA was 19% versus 41%, and math was 17% versus 33%; the district’s ELA gap was larger. School-level ELA and math results, including 11th-grade results, are suppressed, so district figures are context rather than Ganado’s school results, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is available.

SchoolDigger’s reported percentile rose from 6 in 2018–19 to 13 in 2022–23, then fell to 2 in 2024–25—4 points below the earliest figure and 11 below the middle one. This shows a weaker recent relative standing, but not how the school’s test scores changed in raw points. The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.9, and the 2024–25 dropout rate was slightly above the state rate: 6% compared with 5%. These figures offer useful context, but the available data do not show why outcomes differ.
