Summary:
Navajo, Oklahoma is home to a single middle school, Navajo Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance and characteristics provide a snapshot of the educational landscape in this rural community.
Navajo Junior High School has seen fluctuating academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 71st out of 233 Oklahoma middle schools in 2017-2018 to 120th out of 369 in 2024-2025. While the school's Science proficiency rates are above the Navajo district and Oklahoma state averages, its English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates lag behind. The school serves a relatively small student population of 75, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 42.67% free and reduced-price lunch recipients in the 2023-2024 school year.
Navajo Junior High School's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 to 1 is relatively low, but the school faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be a contributing factor to the school's mixed academic performance and could be an area of focus for improvement efforts by the school and district.
