Best Public Schools in New Laguna, NM

Summary:

The city of New Laguna, New Mexico has only one public middle school serving grades 7-8 - Laguna-Acoma Middle School. This small school, with an enrollment of just 30 students, faces significant challenges in academic performance compared to state averages.

Laguna-Acoma Middle School is part of the Grants school district, which is ranked 82 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 192 out of 239 schools in 2022-2023 to 218 out of 235 in 2023-2024. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts (22%), Mathematics (6%), and Science (20%) are significantly lower than the state averages.

Contributing factors to the school's struggles may include its high poverty levels, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its small size. The school's student-teacher ratio of 2.2 is unusually low, which could present both challenges and opportunities in terms of resource allocation and personalized instruction. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach to support student success at Laguna-Acoma Middle School.
