Summary:
The town of Cobre, New Mexico is home to a single high school, Cobre High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 114 and 135 out of New Mexico's high schools, it currently holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 103 out of 190 schools statewide for the 2023-2024 school year.
Cobre High School's academic strengths lie in science, where 43% of students are proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 36%. However, the school struggles in other core subjects, with only 26% of students proficient in SAT School Day/English Language Arts (compared to 34% statewide) and just 21% proficient in NM Combined/Language Arts (versus 38% statewide). The school's performance is particularly low in NM Combined/Mathematics, with only 5% of students proficient, significantly below the state average of 24%.
Despite these academic challenges, Cobre High School benefits from a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and serves a student population that is entirely eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's fluctuating rankings and uneven academic performance suggest the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality education for the community of Cobre.
