Original Research by School Decision on Leupp Public School
Leupp Public School is a regular public school serving students from prekindergarten through fifth grade. It is part of the Flagstaff Unified District, though its physical address places it within the Flagstaff city limits. The school is a regular public school and it is not a charter school.
The school's enrollment is small, and its student body is almost entirely American Indian or Alaska Native. A very small number of Hispanic students and a trace of students from other racial backgrounds round out the enrollment. This composition is a plain characteristic, and the school is not a magnet school.
For the 2024-25 school year, state testing results in math, English language arts, and science were suppressed for every tested grade. Because the data is suppressed, there is no information available on how students at Leupp Public School performed on the AASA or AzSci assessments. A parent or guardian who wants to understand academic performance at this school would need to look into this further with the school or the district, as the public data provided by the state does not include it. The school serves grades PK through 5, and state testing typically begins in third grade, so the absence of a graduation rate or high school metrics is expected, as the school does not serve those grades.
The school sits within the Flagstaff Unified District. The district operates a number of magnet schools and academies, including programs in bilingual education, arts and science, and technology and engineering. Leupp Public School is not listed as a magnet school in the available data. FUSD has also sought voter approval for bonds and overrides in recent cycles, which directly affect school funding and facility improvements. The district has expanded dual-enrollment and career and technical education offerings for its high school students, though those programs apply to the upper grades and not to the elementary level.
Flagstaff itself is a city with a mix of residential, university, tourism, and government functions. Northern Arizona University is a major presence, and the city is a hub for federal scientific installations. The historic downtown centers on Heritage Square. Housing values in the zip code associated with the school are above the state benchmark. Rents are also a significant cost. The broader Flagstaff economy is supported by the university, tourism, and distribution.
For a family considering Leupp Public School, the fundamental fact is that the state has not released proficiency data for this school. The enrollment is small and predominantly American Indian. The school is part of a larger district with a variety of specialized programs at other campuses, but this school itself does not appear to be a magnet or choice program. A parent wanting to understand the academic experience here would likely need to gather information directly from the school staff or from the district office, as the standard public metrics do not provide a picture of student achievement.
