Best Public Schools in New Laguna, NM

Summary:

The city of New Laguna, New Mexico has only one middle school, Laguna-Acoma Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 with a total of 30 students. This small school stands out for its exceptionally high percentage of Native American students at 83.33%, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, Laguna-Acoma Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of all middle schools in New Mexico over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Laguna-Acoma Middle School has a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 2.2, which is well below the national average. This could indicate a high level of individualized attention and support for students. However, the school also faces significant economic challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, highlighting the disadvantaged community it serves.

Overall, Laguna-Acoma Middle School, the sole middle school in the city of New Laguna, appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly Native American student population. The school's low state rankings and high economic disadvantage suggest that further support and resources may be needed to help improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in the Grants-Cibola County Schools district have access to a quality education.
