Best Public Schools in Ramah, NM

Summary:

The city of Ramah, New Mexico is home to two schools: Ramah High and Ramah Elementary, both part of the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district. These schools serve a student population that is predominantly Native American, with over 59% of students at the high school and 62% at the elementary school identifying as such.

Academically, the schools face challenges, with both Ramah High and Ramah Elementary performing below the state average in language arts and math proficiency. However, Ramah High's science proficiency rate is higher than the state average. The high school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, while the elementary school has experienced a decline, dropping from 159th to 352nd out of New Mexico elementary schools. Both schools have a 100% free or reduced-price lunch eligibility rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.

Despite these challenges, the schools in Ramah serve a unique and important role in the community. Addressing the educational needs of the predominantly Native American student population, as well as the economic disparities, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure that all students in Ramah have access to a high-quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
