History

In the halfway point 2019-2020 school year it issued a report. Kyle Land of the Rio Grande Sun stated that the report included information about "High rates of absences, rock-bottom performance scores and a large number of students attending school elsewhere". [3]

Jim Hattabaugh of Fayetteville, Arkansas became the superintendent in 2020. [4]

Student body

One factor that affects studying times is students accompanying parents on shopping trips, as retail outlets are long distances from the reservation. [3]

In 2018 some families dissatisfied with the schools enrolled their children in Archuleta School District schools in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. There were about 100 such students. [5]

Operations

In 2018 Amanda Martinez of the Rio Grande Sun stated that each day incidents of bullying are reported. [6]

The tribe does not allow non-members to own property in the tribal areas. This factor, along with distances from other settlements and cultural differences, hamper the district's efforts in keeping teachers employed there, according to reports made circa 2018. [5]

Schools and facilities

The district also maintains residences for its employees. [13]
