Economy

Commuters go to Leupp, Winslow, and Flagstaff for employment. The community services coordinator of the Tolani Lake Chapter, Valerie Kelly, stated in 2014 that "Employment is very limited." [4]

Education

Residents are within the Flagstaff Unified School District. Residents attend Leupp Elementary School. [8] For secondary grades residents are zoned to Mount Elden Middle School and Flagstaff High School. [9] [10]

There was previously Tolani Lake Elementary School. Teacher housing was being built for it, but was never used due to the school's 2006 closure. The Arizona Republic referred to the teacher housing as a white elephant project. [11] Vandals later attacked the buildings. The housing was in a dome shape, described by Cindy Yurth of the Navajo Times as being "futuristic-looking". [4]
