Best Public Schools in Thoreau, NM


Summary:

The city of Thoreau, New Mexico is home to three public schools: Thoreau High, Thoreau Elementary, and Thoreau Middle, all of which serve students in the Gallup school district. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of academic metrics.

None of the three Thoreau schools stand out as high-performing, with all three receiving low statewide rankings and 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below state averages, with Thoreau High's 20% proficiency in SAT School Day/English Language Arts and Thoreau Elementary's 14% proficiency in NM-MSSA/Mathematics falling well short of the respective state averages of 34% and 25%. The four-year graduation rate at Thoreau High, at 76.7%, is also below the state average.

Compounding the academic challenges, all three Thoreau schools have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively high, ranging from 18.1 to 19 students per teacher. These systemic issues suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in the Thoreau area.
