Original Research by School Decision on Navit - Round Valley High School
NAVIT - Round Valley High School is not a traditional high school. It is a career and technical education program operated by the Northern Arizona Vocational Institute of Technology, a joint technical education district serving multiple high schools across eastern Arizona. The school shares an address with Round Valley High School in Eagar, so it functions as a vocational program housed at that campus rather than as a standalone school building.
Enrollment at this site is extremely limited. During the most recent reporting period, a single student was enrolled, an eleventh grader. The student was Hispanic. No other demographic data, such as eligibility for free or reduced-price meals, special education services, or English learner status, was reported. The school’s small size is typical of a regional vocational program that draws students from multiple sending high schools; enrollment numbers for an individual site can fluctuate sharply depending on which courses are offered in a given year and where students take them.
Because NAVIT - Round Valley High School is a career and technical school, state assessment results and a four-year graduation rate are not applicable metrics. The school does not serve as a comprehensive high school where students take standard state tests or complete a traditional diploma pathway. Instead, it concentrates on vocational training that supplements what students receive at their home high school. No specific program offerings or course access data were available, so a parent should contact the district directly to learn which trades or certifications are available at this location.
Eagar, where the program is located, is a small rural town in the White Mountains of Apache County. It has a ranching and agricultural heritage, a growing tourism and recreation sector tied to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, and a relatively low cost of living. Home values in the area were below the state median of Arizona. The town has no property tax, and its civic anchors include a public library, parks, rodeo grounds, and a domed stadium shared with the high school. The school district itself—Round Valley Unified—runs the neighborhood elementary, middle, and high schools that form the main academic pathway for most students. NAVIT’s program sits alongside that pathway, offering specialized technical instruction for those who choose it.
No recent referendums, curriculum changes, or other parent-relevant developments were publicly reported for the NAVIT district. A parent considering this program would need to follow up with the district office to confirm current course offerings, transportation arrangements, and how credits transfer back to a student’s home school. The most essential fact is that this is a vocational supplement, not a full-service high school, and its minimal enrollment at this site reflects that role.
