Service area

Young Elementary School District included sections of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. In 1984 the Young district contracted with Whiteriver USD to educate the Fort Apache students, numbering about 200, due to roads being inaccessible between Fort Apache and Young.[1] As of 2020 these parts of the reservation are now directly in Whiteriver USD.[2]
