The high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the district suggest significant economic challenges that may contribute to the overall lower academic performance. The two alternative schools, Gallup Central Alternative and Six Directions Indigenous School, play a crucial role in providing educational opportunities for vulnerable students in the Gallup area.
