With high expectations, FUSD employs teachers, counselors, librarians, bus drivers, administrators, and support staff to ensure students can focus on their education. Working together, FUSD is proud that students consistently score above state and national averages on standardized achievement tests and the dropout rates are lower than the state average.

State 48 Graduate Profile
Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) is proud to implement the State 48 Graduate Profile, a statewide framework designed to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to succeed in an ever-changing world. Developed in collaboration with educators, families, students, businesses, and community partners across Arizona, State 48 focuses on preparing students for success beyond graduation, whether they choose to pursue Enrollment, Employment, Enlistment & Service, or Entrepreneurship.
Through the State 48 Graduate Profile, FUSD is building on its strong academic foundation by intentionally developing eight essential skills including Knowledge & Literacy, Digital Fluency, Critical Thinking & Problem Solving, Creative & Innovative Thinking, Self-Awareness & Management, Adaptability & Lifelong Learning, Collaboration & Communication, and Ethics & Impact. Throughout the school year, FUSD highlights a different essential skill each month, helping students connect classroom learning to real-world experiences. By integrating these skills into learning from the earliest grades through graduation, FUSD is empowering every student to confidently discover and pursue their chosen path.
