Santa Rosa Ranch School

Located along Indian Hwy 35 in Sells, Arizona, Santa Rosa Ranch School is an open, regular public school district operating as a single-school entity within a remote rural setting. Serving students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, the district plays a vital role in providing accessible primary and middle school education to its surrounding desert community. Operating independently outside of a charter system or supervisory union, the district maintains a focused academic structure designed to support early childhood and adolescent development across nine grade levels.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, Santa Rosa Ranch School serves a close-knit student body of 76 children—comprising 40 male and 36 female students—all of whom identify as American Indian, reflecting a rich, culturally unified learner population. To foster this educational environment, the district employs a total staff of 16 full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. This team includes 2 full-time classroom teachers alongside 14 dedicated support staff members who provide essential operational, administrative, and student assistance services tailored to the needs of a small, remote school community.
