Summary:
Tierra Encantada Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the Tierra Encantada Charter School District, which is ranked 102 out of 119 districts in the state of New Mexico and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Tierra Encantada Charter School was previously ranked 53rd out of 177 high schools in the state in 2021-2022, its performance has declined, dropping to 122nd out of 170 in 2022-2023 and further to 136th out of 190 in the current 2023-2024 school year. This declining statewide ranking is reflected in the school's overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's graduation rate of 76.7% in 2022-2023 is also below the state average, and its proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels.
Despite serving a relatively low-income student population, with 20.07% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, Tierra Encantada Charter School's academic performance continues to struggle. The school's student-teacher ratio of 20.5 to 1 in 2022-2023 is slightly higher than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and develop strategies to better support its students' academic and social-emotional needs.
