Cuba Elementary
Summary:

ZIP code 87013 covers four elementary schools — Cuba Elementary (PK–5) and three K–8 schools, Ojo Encino Day School, Pueblo Pintado Community School, and Na' Neelzhiin Ji'Olta — serving 686 students combined. Each operates under its own district: Cuba Independent Schools, Ojo Encino Day School, Pueblo Pintado Community School, and Na' Neelzhiin Ji'Olta. Every school serves a very high-poverty population, with free/reduced lunch rates between 97.46% and 99.66%, so economic disadvantage is the shared context across the area. Enrollment ranges from 298 students at Cuba to 118 at Na' Neelzhiin.

Cuba Elementary is the largest school, with 298 students (about 43.4% of the area's elementary enrollment), and the only one in this list with publicly reported test scores and rank history. Its rank improved from 435th of 435 (0 percentile) in 2022–2023 to 303rd of 346 (12th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. All-grade ELA rose from 13.87% to 23.21% and math from 5.84% to 9.82% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, moving above its district in both subjects but still below state averages of 44.66% in ELA and 27.85% in math. Science was reported as under 20% versus 33.62% statewide. Third-grade math (25.93%) is essentially level with the state (26.3%), while 5th-grade reading, math, and science are all reported as under 20%.

The other three schools have no rank or test data here, so they can only be compared on enrollment and staffing. Na' Neelzhiin Ji'Olta is the smallest, with 118 students and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 7.8; Pueblo Pintado has the highest ratio at 23.2 despite enrolling only 128 students; Ojo Encino sits in the middle with 142 students and a 12.3 ratio, compared with Cuba's 13.8. Families can compare size, grades served, and class-size conditions across all four schools, but academic performance cannot be compared for the three K–8 schools from this data.
