Summary:
The city of Jal, New Mexico is home to 3 public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Jal Elementary, Jal High, and Jal Junior High. While the district serves over 500 students, the schools appear to be performing below average compared to other schools in the state of New Mexico.
The student population across the 3 schools is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 77.55% to 85.6%, with White students making up the second-largest racial group. All 3 schools have relatively low state-wide rankings, with Jal Elementary ranked 275 out of 435 elementary schools, Jal High ranked 130 out of 170 high schools, and Jal Junior High ranked 219 out of 239 middle schools. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 47.62% to 55.2%, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance.
Overall, the Jal Public Schools district appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the low state-wide rankings, lack of diversity, and socioeconomic factors could be crucial for improving the educational experience and outcomes for students in the Jal school district.
