Original Research by School Decision on Moccasin Elementary School
Moccasin Elementary School is listed as inactive by the state of Arizona. That is the central fact. The school served as a regular public school within the Fredonia-Moccasin Unified District and was located in the small, unincorporated community of Moccasin, which sits on the Kaibab Indian Reservation. The school’s enrollment, demographic profile, state assessment results, and other operating metrics are all missing from the available data, consistent with a facility that is no longer in service.
The community of Moccasin is exceptionally small. According to publicly reported census figures, its population has declined over a recent period, dropping from a modest population to a still smaller one by the 2020 census. The school served only a single grade level, listed as M through M, which is an unusual span and may reflect a very limited grade offering or a specific program structure. No information on walkability, major employers, or civic anchors such as parks or libraries was found for the area.
The parent district, Fredonia-Moccasin Unified District, oversees schools in this remote corner of Mohave County. The district brief turned up no recent changes—no bond measures, boundary adjustments, or program launches—that would meet a threshold of lasting, parent-relevant impact. Housing values in the broader area, as measured by a weighted index, sit below the state benchmark, and the year-over-year trend for that index shows a slight decline, in contrast to a modest national increase. The national 30-year mortgage rate, at the time of this data, was in the range of recent years.
Because the school is inactive, no comparison to other districts in Mohave County could be made. The metrics the comparison set would normally pull—overall proficiency, graduation rate, chronic absenteeism—are all noted as not applicable because the entity’s value is missing. No program offerings were reported. No civil rights or disciplinary data was available. The school had no charter or magnet designation.
A parent or resident looking at Moccasin Elementary should understand that it is not currently a functioning school. If you are researching educational options in the Moccasin area, the relevant point of contact is the Fredonia-Moccasin Unified District, which would have records on where students in this attendance zone are now served. The district covers a wide, rural stretch of northern Arizona, and families may need to consider travel to the nearest operating school. The missing test scores and enrollment figures are not a reflection of performance; they are a function of the school’s inactive status. Anyone with specific questions about school assignment or records should reach out to the district directly.
