Summary:

Crownpoint, New Mexico is a small community on the Navajo Nation in McKinley County served by eight schools — six elementary, one middle and one high — with 1,278 students reported in total. Three of them belong to Gallup-McKinley City Schools: Crownpoint Elementary (281 students), Crownpoint Middle (226) and Crownpoint High (279), together 786 students, about 61.5% of enrollment. The other five are separately listed community/Navajo schools: T'iis Ts'ozi Bi'Olta' Community School (278), Mariano Lake Community School (68), Tse'ii'ahi' Community School (62), Dibe Yazhi Habitiin Olta' Inc. (58) and Lake Valley Navajo School (26) — 492 students, roughly 38.5%.

Only the three Gallup-McKinley schools have test and rank data. Crownpoint High is the clear standout: its rank rose from 21st percentile (1 star) in 2023-24 to 54th percentile (3 stars) in 2024-25 and 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-26, the only 3-star rating here. Its graduation rate was 76.0%, just above the district's 75.8% but below the state's 80.6%; 11th-grade ELA was 36.84%, near the state's 37.07%, and science 38.6%, above both district and state. Math is reported only as under 20%, so its exact standing is unknown. Crownpoint Elementary posts the strongest science result in the data — 5th-grade science at 40%, above district and state — and improved markedly from 2024-25. Crownpoint Middle shows a sharp ELA weakness (25.76% all grades, far below district and state) but a bright spot in 7th-grade math at 32%.

Every Crownpoint school is high-poverty, with free/reduced lunch above 80% everywhere and as high as 98.92% at T'iis Ts'ozi. Reported student-teacher ratios range from 4.8 at Crownpoint Middle to 20.6 at Tse'ii'ahi', while the elementary and high schools report none. The biggest limitation is coverage: the five community/Navajo schools have no test scores or rank history, so about 492 students — 38.5% of enrollment — cannot be compared academically from these data. Suppressed and bounded values are unknown, not zero.
