Academic scores are high but if you are a military child you will never fit in. My daughter has been harrassed by her softball coach since she started her with the administration backing up the teacher the whole way. My daughter is now under psychological care due to the detrimental nature of dealing with this. Recommend Altus JH over Navajo completely.

I attended school there. All 3 of my kids have gone to school at Navajo as well. It’s a special place that churns out great students. The negative review is in no way indicative of the norm. My daughter graduates tomorrow with honors from Oklahoma Baptist. Her fiance (another Navajo grad) will graduate with honors tomorrow from Oklahoma University, both of them are graduating a year early. Teachers and faculty at Navajo love the students and truly want the best for your children. Are there bad apples? Sure, but each school has to deal with their fair share of difficult teachers and bad situations. Send your kids to Navajo, odds are great that you won't regret it.
