Summary:
The city of Navajo, New Mexico is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area face significant academic challenges, with most performing well below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Among the standout schools, Crystal Boarding School stands out with an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.7, suggesting a high level of individual attention for students. Additionally, the Dzit Dit Lool School Of Empowerment Action And Perseverance, a public charter high school, has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and a 78% four-year graduation rate, which is on par with the other high schools in the area.
The data also reveals that all the schools in Navajo serve a predominantly low-income population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.15% to 94.23%. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. While the overall performance is concerning, the higher proficiency rate in 11th grade Science at Navajo Pine High School suggests that there may be pockets of success and effective practices that could be leveraged to improve outcomes across the Gallup district.
