Oak Springs’s schools, in brief

High spending, middling results

Which school depends on your street

With two elementary schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. Elementary grades range from D to C+, so it’s worth checking the specific school, not just the town. After that, everyone goes to Tsehootsooi Middle School and Window Rock High School. See the path ↓

This summary is written from the data on this page. Test scores are from 2020–21, a pandemic year, so treat small gaps with caution; the grade rests on only 73 tested students.

How the School Grade works
  • Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Arizona’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
  • The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
  • Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Arizona only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
  • What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
