Demographic
Kayenta Unified School District is in the upper northeastern part of Arizona. Our school is the entrance to one of the famous landmarks in the United States; the beautiful Monument Valley buttes stand tall on an arid desert land on the border of the Arizona and Utah state lines. Geologists and tourists are among our visitors to this beautiful country. Our students on the Navajo Reservation know that this part of the Navajo Nation lands is vital to our culture, just like the great Grand Canyon near Flagstaff, Arizona. Our school vision is to have students be recognized and respected for instructional excellence, academic success, and lifelong learning. Kayenta.k12.az.us/o/kms: the letter grade B is on record with the Arizona School Report Card. Kayenta Middle School, now known as Baker Middle School, has a B letter grade. The total enrollment at Baker Middle School is 479. Most students attending Baker Middle School are Native American ethnic, 2.3% are multiracial, and 4.38% are not disclosed under specific ethnicity. Students ride public school buses from surrounding rural communities to attend Kayenta Middle School. The communities are at least 40 miles to 50 miles away from Kayenta School District. Students wait at the bus stop in rural areas from around 6:00 to 6:45 a.m.; the bus rides are well over an hour long. Most students from rural areas are comfortable with outdoor activities and have some livestock to oversee. Most of the rural students live science every day. Students who live closer to Kayenta or in housing compounds must travel to tend to their livestock but are also exposed to outside science. Therefore, the combination of the study of evolution and medicine should be fascinating to our students in our area.
